A festival of events including an audio walk, two shows, films and talks at Scarborough's Stephen Joseph Theatre next month will celebrate Yorkshire's literary sisters Anne, Charlotte and Emily Brontë.

Asking what it means to be a woman making art and how it's changed over the years, this new production from Manchester-based Stute Theatre fuses the stories of the Brontë sisters with drama, live looped music, spoken word and vocal harmonies. Three actors come to the stage 150 years after the onset of Brontë-mania, each with their own ideas about how to tell the stories.

Theatre innovators New Perspectives are launching a new festival that shuns the digital world and places emphasis wholly on the tangible and the tactile. Taking place all around Nottingham over one weekend, this new festival will expand the idea of 'theatre' to encompass any live experience that unearths a sense of drama.

In their latest series playing with form and experimenting how intimate theatre can exist in lockdown, New Perspectives are presenting a series of short telephone performances for Valentine’s weekend. The short, love-themed dramas have been created to be performed live to an audience of just one at a time.
