Wuthering Heights
Set on the rambling moors, Cathy and Heathcliff embark on a love story that transcends decades and universes.
After Heathcliff is rescued from the city by milk farmer Earnshaw and taken to live at Wuthering Heights, he finds solace in Cathy Earnshaw. Their idyllic, rural childhood is cut short by Earnshaw’s death, and the two are flung into responsibility. Expectations, family, and the temptation of money all strive to break these two apart.
Re-contextualised to the black country in the 1990s, this classic story asks the universal question: can childhood love stand the test of time?
