BBC'S 'TO WALK INVISIBLE'
BRONTE SISTERS TV DRAMA
BBC has finally released a trailer for their December 29th two hours TV drama on Bronte sisters TO WALK INVISIBLE which tells the story 
behind these three women who, despite the obstacles they faced, came from obscurity to produce some of the greatest novels in the English language. The one-off drama has been both written and directed by Sally Wainwright.
As their situation worsens, Charlotte sees that writing could offer a
way out. This is the story of the sisters' great novels and their
extraordinary battle for recognition.
JONATHAN PRYCE AND CHARLIE MURPHY LEAD THE CAST
Jonathan Pryce plays the role of the Brontë sisters’ father, Patrick, and is joined by Chloe Pirrie as Wuthering Heights author Emily
Brontë. Finn Atkins portrays ambitious older sister Charlotte who wrote Jane Eyre and Charlie Murphy plays the determined, level 
headed younger sister Anne the author of novels Agnes Grey and The Tenant Of Wildfell Hall. Their reckless brother Branwell, whose
destructive behaviour threatened to destroy his family, is played by always great Adam Nagaitis. Young British stars Joe Armstrong and Luke Newberry also star.

ReplyDeletea post Christmassy TV fun
DeleteLooks interesting! I have read some of their books- but don't know (or remember) much about them (which I realized after reading this post). Thanks for sharing. :)

I've only read Wuthering Heights and quite liked it for its unusual depth compared to other British novels
DeleteHello dahlink, I'm not dead, just been terribly busy. I'll be around again more often.
ReplyDeleteWho is this? I seem to vaguely recall someone blond and Irish, but it could be Ronan Keating. It is all ever so blurry to me....
DeleteDon't forget the poetry! This has a nice trailer and it's good to see what writers of the past went through.
ReplyDeleteyou do need to suffer to be a writer or an artist
DeleteShort and sweet trailer, but it does look good! I'll be looking forward to sitting down and watching it after the holidays.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure they will air it at BBC America or PBS possibly
DeleteI have a feeling this one will be on PBS. I'll keep an eye out!
Deletefingers crossed!
DeleteYou always give me the best hints on what to watch next!
ReplyDelete-Kati
the world would be at such a loss without me
DeleteI bet that will be an interesting story. I'm glad things have changed, and women can now write without fear of being rejected based on their gender.
ReplyDeletenot that we don't wish some of them would not write :)
DeleteAngie loves the Brontë sisters. Those books cost me a fortune....
ReplyDeleteThey sell them for like 2 euro here with female magazines :)
DeleteOf course Angie prefers a special edition to test my love. :D
Deletenot the early copies or collector pieces? Meanwhile, I'm happy when I find a book for a euro or two on second hand book selling sites, I ain't paying 10 euro in bookshops
