Stephen Kaplan
As his sisters’ literary stars begin to rise, Branwell Brontë tells stories to cushion realities of their lives and keep loss from seeping into the real world.
Branwell Brontë has always been desperate to keep up with his brilliant sisters Charlotte, Emily and Anne. As the Brontë women’s stars begin to rise, Branwell uses the familial gift of storytelling to lead his siblings into magical worlds and cushion some of the harsh realities of their real lives, including Branwell’s jealousy over his sisters’ success. But when the magic of their stories begins to fail, Branwell and his sisters must fight to keep destruction and loss from seeping into the real world.
Branwell (and the other Brontës) was first produced with the Loft Ensemble in Los Angeles in March 2022.

Though the siblings were originally Caucasian, this is not a history play and there is no reason that they need to be of the same race, look like each other, or be their accurate ages at the time of the play. This includes the two youngest sisters, who only need to have the essence of appearing younger than the other four.
A space where anything can happen. Possibly 24 September 1848, but not necessarily.
“Both beautiful and painful to watch.” – NoHo Arts District
“A great choice for any audience member interested in familial relationships, imagination, play and creation in the face of loss.” – StageRaw
