Restyling the story of three Yorkshire lasses who became global superstars.
about the production
Jane Hair is a heart-warming comedy set in a modern day hair salon where the Brontë sisters work alongside their brother Branwell. It offers audiences a chance to get up close and personal with the writers of Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre and those other books you’ve not read either.The three sisters are stylists with creative ambitions who just can’t catch a break and don’t dare to dream, no matter how talented they may be - because, well, ‘that’s just not what girls from Bradford do’.

the great Andrea Dunbar; hers is the voice of a Britain we rarely hear – female, northern, working class, funny and furious.
