Charlotte Brontë : Senseless Trash

South Square Centre in partnership with the Brontë Birthplace present 'Charlotte Brontë: Senseless Trash' performed by Fran Bundy

Join Charlotte Brontë on a phonic field trip over the Yorkshire Moors (or just around Thornton!)  and listen in to the sounds that shaped the Brontë sisters’ lives. The howling winds at Top Withens, tranquil trickling of nearby waterfalls and the angelic tones of…Beyoncé will accompany you on your journey. Senseless Trash from beginning to end - don’t say I didn’t warn you. Oh, and keep your wits about you, for there are beasts on those moors…
