emsemsems's review against another edition
3.0
It feels a little bit like a fan-fict., but it was executed quite well (wasn't Dante's Inferno a fan-fict. as well?). Only 3-stars because I felt like there were many parts in the play which Teale could've played more 'creatively' with. For instance - I felt like since it was already a work of fiction in itself - she didn't have to put in chunks of excerpts from the Brönte's original work (and instead did something more 'creative' with the text).
Also, I never liked Branwell even though I know that he's an essential character - so I'd expected Teale to portray him slightly differently than how everyone else did (like the film adaptations/whatnots) but she didn't really 'spice things up'/make him more interesting and/so he appeared 'boring' and very predictable to me when I was reading the play. It made me skim the page(s) a little because he's just the same old Branwell everyone's already made him up to be.
