Notes: | from novel by By Emily Bronte | |||||
Synopsis: | Emily Bronte's gothic tale of tortured love is brought to the stage in all its turbulent, passionate glory. Wuthering Heights embodies the eternal pull between good and evil, dark and light, and heaven and hell. This exhilarating and vibrant adaptation of the literary classic brings to life the all-encompassing love between the silent, brooding Heathcliff and the emotionally unstable Catherine. Their destructive relationship is one of the most enduring love stories of English literature. First broadcast as a Radio 4 drama for Woman's Hour in 2003 ("Unmissable'" Radio Times), writer Lucy Gough has now adapted the work for the stage. | |||||
