....boy, this whole "Bronte trilogy" (Bronte, After Mr Rochester, and Jane Eyre) by Teale was really disappointing. I wish I'd gotten these plays out of the library instead.

At first I thought it was mediocre. And then I reread it and then reread it and imagined a fully-realised production of it (set not in the 1800s but in the years of the Great Depression) and now I’m utterly enchanted with it. Bertha I would die for you

A very interesting take on the original story, quite lovely in its own stylised way. Focuses mostly on the suppression of passion and sexuality, the control of religion, and the taboo of mental illness. Seems to have chosen only the darkest, most controversial themes from the novel. Definitely its own very particular interpretation, but still has a lot of theatrical potential, certainly in its descriptions of the characters' movements.

Compaction of theme is what separates this play from its predecessor. The novel is much more drawn out, and this play expresses a lot of the duality and character development in a shorter way. I liked it better for being more of an artful piece to the classic novel, even if it omits some important and interesting things.
