Coming directly from London and New York, this critically acclaimed adaptation of Wuthering Heights is an epic and thrilling story of love, revenge and hope. Rescued from the Liverpool docks as a child, Heathcliff is adopted by Mr Earnshaw and taken to live at Wuthering Heights. In his daughter, Catherine, Heathcliff finds a kindred spirit, and a fierce and enduring love ignites. However, when forced apart, a brutal chain of events is unleashed. Shot through with music, humour, puppetry and dance, this production of Wuthering Heights transforms Emily Brontë’s masterpiece into a passionate, powerful and uniquely theatrical experience. An intoxicating revenge tragedy for our time, it warns that our cruel treatment of others affects the world for years to come.
This original English-language production, directed by Emma Rice, will be shown exclusively at DeLaMar for two weeks in June, in association with Sismo Stories & Performances and as a part of the Holland Festival.
