What happens when a passion is turned into a means to survive?

Sisters Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Brontë have always enjoyed writing and storytelling, but so far, it’s been for their own personal enjoyment. Now that their father is sick and their brother is an alcoholic, they have to be the ones to support the family. They’d rather focus on their careers than settle down with suitors anyway, so writing is what could save them.
But is it also what could tear them apart? Jealousy, rivalry, and the strong need for self-expression threaten not only their livelihood and relationships but also their confidence in creativity and what could be their legacy.

“Jordi Mand is a gifted writer. In Brontë: The World Without, she not only creates the isolated, confined world in which the Brontë sisters lived and wrote, she also illuminates the mysterious, solitary world of the writer, the obsessive need to create with words. We read the works of the Brontë sisters with new insight and understanding of what it took to create those books because of Jordi Mand’s play.” —Lynn Slotkin, The Slotkin Letter
