A brand new adaptation brings Emily Bronte’s passionate and spellbinding tale of forbidden love and revenge to life on stage.

Set on the wild, windswept Yorkshire moors, Wuthering Heights is the tempestuous story of free-spirited Catherine and dark, brooding Heathcliff. As children running wild and free on the moors, Cathy and Heathcliff are inseparable.

As they grow up their affection deepens into a passionate love, but Cathy lets her head rule her heart as she chooses to marry the wealthy Edgar Linton.

Heathcliff flees broken-hearted only to return seeking terrible vengeance on those he holds responsible, with epic and tragic results.

April De Angelis is one of the UK’s most innovative dramatists. Her plays have included A Laughing Matter at the National Theatre, Hush at the Royal Court and The Warwickshire Testimony for the RSC.

As a member of the Bronte Society for many years am looking forward to yet another production of Wuthering Heights of which there have been many on stage,film and TV. Do have a look at Bronte Museum website. Visit Haworth if you can,a little under 3 hour journey from Solihull. Recommended initial reading, The Life of Charlotte Bronte by Mrs Gaskell and The Brontes by Juliet Barker. Fall in love with the family and you will have years of pleasure to come.

I am really looking forward to seeing this production.

Will you be uploading any production photographs soon?

Hi Marcus - thanks for your message, glad to hear you're looking forward to Wuthering Heights. Yes, the production photographs were taken yesterday (Friday 26 Sep) so we'll upload them as soon as we get them - early next week.

I saw Wuthering Heights on Friday. Wonderful!!!

im excited.
not about taking notes though-that'll suck:)

Hi Rosie

Don't take notes during the show - it'll ruin it for you! Just sit back and take it all in, and the bits that stick out in your memory you can note down in the interval or after the show.... Plus if you're taking notes you might miss a bit!

I saw Wuthering Heights last night (29th)- absolutely brilliant! All the cast gave a great performance but special mention to Susannah York as Nelly - Outstanding!

I went to see this last night (30th sept) and i thought the show was OK. I never have read the book and so i thought the production was hard to follow and confused me about the whole plot. I have nothing against the acting as it was brilliant but as a whole it wasn't the best thing i have seen but well done guys!

I went to see Wuthering Heights last night and LOVED IT!

The adaptation is very clever, it stays very close to the original text - while condensing it into just over 2 hours.

Very enjoyable night at the Theatre.

We really enjoyed this production, better than expected!!

Been to see Wuthering Heights tonight, it was fantastic, well worth a visit, enjoyed every minute.
(Just a word of wisdom....wear a warm jumper, the theatre was really cold tonight)

Thought the adaptation was portrayed very well and although a rather serious play there was some very light hearted laugh out loud moments. I even shed a tear at the end. Well worth watchin.

Went to see the show on the 27th September. Thought the show was great, but why do people still insist on leaving mobile phones on. Right at the end of the performance some lady's phone goes off which she doesn't answer, it then goes off again which she answers and starts to talk before getting up to walk out of the theater to continue the conversation. And this was just 7 or 8 rows from the front and right on the final scene. I think phones should be banned from even going in the theater!! Still good adaption of a great book.

I saw this last night (9 Oct), it was amazing!

I went to see the play last week and, although glad I went, I was disappointed by the lighthearted approach and the joky tone. I wanted to relive the book and of course the fabulous film, but this was not to be. An interesting approach, though !

I thought the production was brilliant, they got everything right, including the sets which impressed me as it can't be easy trying to recreate the Moors on a stage i Birmingham! I was particularly impressed by the way some of the peripheral characters were played for laughs, Lockwood especially, as it brought a bit of light relief without cheapening the Cathy-Heathcliffe story. An the casting was spot on; unfortunately we didn't see Susannah York at the performance I went to, but her understudy was great.

Went to see the show on 4th Oct with my son and a friend we all thoroughly enjoyed the performance, the acting was first class.

is this play going on to be performed at another thetre do you know? we would hve loved to have seen it but only found out today about it, and it ends this saturday, we cant come any of the nights that remain. If it is going on to another theatre somewhere else in the country, i would be really glad to know. many thanks, sue

I was in town for a conference and was so happy to be able to see this new production. It was wonderful. So much of Emily Bronte was retained in the dialogue. The leads were very good; it was great how they were able to play the characters from children to adults. The wonder in their young eyes made one forget that these were grown actors! Thank you very much.

We saw Wuthering Heights on Tuesday (21st October). Outstanding, powerful performances from Edmund Kingsley and Antony Byrne. We were unsure as to what to expect, knowing the story but not having seen the screen version. It was a privilege to watch Susannah York. Truly memorable experience.
