Wise Children - Wuthering Heights
"superbly cast, delivered with gusto and evincing the kind of rough-hewn yet fluid and economical theatrical invention (including live music, dancing, puppetry) that enhances the story's dark, grim grip and locates pockets of welcome humour within it."——The Times ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Emma RICE has thrown away all the rulebooks and harnessed the beating heart and slippery soul of Emily BRONTË's unwieldy gothic monster, Wuthering Heights, in a wildly imaginative, exhilarating piece of theatre."——The Daily Mail ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Emma RICE's glorious stage adaptation of Emily BRONTE's novel is a feat of storytelling.” ——The New York Times |
Emma RICE, former Artistic Director of Shakespeare's Globe in London, adapted the classic novel Wuthering Heights, captivating the audience from the start with its compelling story, imaginative physical performances, smooth mise-en-scène, actors playing multiple roles, and engaging music and dance. This transformation of Emily BRONTË's masterpiece takes audiences on a powerful and uniquely theatrical journey. The plot revolves around Heathcliff, an orphan who returned home wealthy only to discover that his childhood love, Catherine, was married to another man, resulting in a series of vengeful acts spanning three generations.
Wuthering Heights is a co-production of the National Theatre, Bristol Old Vic, and York Theatre Royal that premiered at the end of 2021. It has since been invited to perform in New York and at the Holland Festival. The New York Times reviewed it: "Emma RICE's glorious stage adaptation of Emily BRONTË's novel is a feat of storytelling, with a singing and dancing chorus embodying the moors."
