![]() My advice would be to take a warm jumper with you – there was a chill wind blowing off the moors last night. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is on at the York Theatre Royal until the 6 th of May, so plenty of time to get tickets. ![]() ![]() I also loved the (awful) vicar with his penchant for ale, and Markham’s doting mother. The cast was excellent, I especially warmed to the good humoured but domestically exploited Rose, who is expected to wait upon her brother and anyone else who enters the house, but bears it with remarkably good grace. A young farmer, Markham, takes an interest in her that gradually deepens into something else that can never come to fruition because of the secrets in Helen’s past. The play follows the story of the mysterious and reticent Helen Graham who moves into the old and almost derelict Wildfell Hall, causing much talk and speculation in the village regarding her background and character. ![]() It has all the passion and grit of Wuthering Heights, combined with the strength and feeling of Jane Eyre. Written by Anne Bronte it’s a lesser known novel by the Bronte sisters but somewhat unfairly I think. It’s the first time I have been since the theatre reopened after the renovations last year and it looked fabulous! I’ve been going to the Theatre Royal since I was very small when we used to visit the annual Christmas panto – and I still love pantos! Last night I visited the York Theatre Royal for the opening night of The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. ![]()
