FROM JANUARY 2025 •  ROSLYN PACKER THEATRE

The only novel published by English author Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights is the 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. 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.

With her trademark musical and visual style, Emma Rice brings new life to the classic story in this elemental new 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.

★★★★★ The Daily Mail  –

“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.”
