The Yorkshire moors tell an epic story of love, revenge and redemption
In her trademark musical and visual style, internationally acclaimed director, Emma Rice (Buddha of Suburbia, Bagdad Cafe, Wise Children, Brief Encounter) brings new life to Wuthering Heights in this elemental new musical stage adaptation. The bold and ingenious production is a unique retelling of the gothic novel interlaced with intelligent humour and dynamic live music. Emma Rice transforms Emily Brontë's masterpiece into a passionate, powerful and uniquely theatrical experience.
“Emma Rice has thrown away all the rulebooks and harnessed the beating heart and slippery soul of Emily Bronte's unwieldy gothic monster, Wuthering Heights, in a wildly imaginative, exhilarating piece of theatre.” – The Daily Mail ★★★★★
Rescued from the Liverpool docks as a child, Heathcliff is adopted by the Earnshaws and taken to live at Wuthering Heights. In their daughter Catherine, Heathcliff finds a kindred spirit and a fierce love ignites. But, when forced apart, a brutal chain of events is unleashed.
