Haworth West Yorkshire 1848 Branwell Bronte
- unexhibited artist unacknowledged writer sacked railwayman disgraced tutor & spurned lover
- finds himself unhappily back in Haworth Parsonage to face the disappointment of his father & his three sisters the scale of whose own pseudonymous successes is only just becoming apparent With his health failing rapidly his aspirations abandoned & his once loyal circle of friends shrinking fast Branwell resorts to a world of secrets conspiracies & endlessly imagined betrayals But his spiral of self-destruction only accelerates the sense of his destiny to be a bystander looking across at greatness & the madness which that realisation will bring
