Synopsis

I am Heathcliff! Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.

The Yorkshire moors tell an epic story of love, revenge and redemption.

Rescued from the Liverpool docks as a child, Heathcliff is adopted by the Earnshaws and taken to live at Wuthering Heights. He finds a kindred spirit in Catherine Earnshaw and a fierce love ignites. When forced apart, a brutal chain of events is unleashed.

Shot through with music, dance, passion and hope, Emma Rice transforms Emily Brontė’s masterpiece into a powerful and uniquely theatrical experience.

This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere at Bristol Old Vic in October 2021.
