A new life beckons for Lucy Snowe, who leaves behind her past and
flees from England. She finds work as a school teacher in the town
of Villette, but her struggle to remain independent is overshadowed
by despair and desire. Lucy's fevered imagination drives her to the
edge, enduring fire, storms and callous rejection before pushing
her teasingly close to a happy ending. "Villette" was Charlotte
Bronte's last completed novel, and her most autobiographical. It
thinly disguises her own life when she ventured away from the
infamous Yorkshire parsonage to study but fell passionately - and
dangerously - in love. This powerful, classic masterpiece is given
a distinctive twist by the Stephen Joseph Theatre and award-winning
theatre company Frantic Assembly. Production opens at SJT in
October 2005.
