Wuthering Heights - a brand new stage adaptation comes to Titchfield

Lizz Clarke • February 24, 2020

Wednesday 4th - Saturday 14th March 2020

Wuthering Heights is part of our 2020 New Play Season, and offers an exciting new stage adaptation. The cast includes a number of new and younger actors making their stage debuts here at Titchfield Festival Theatre. 

Wuthering Heights is a literary classic and tells the story of orphaned Heathcliff, who is brought to Wuthering Heights as a child to live with the Earnshaws. He little knew what kind of torment young Catherine Earnshaw would bring into his life, even twenty years after she has died.
Once an outcast, Heathcliff uses his new found wealth and intelligence to exact revenge on the two families that destroyed him. But whatever he does, he finds he cannot escape Cathy...
Set on the bleak Yorkshire moors, Emily Brontë’s first and only novel is a tale of obsession, romance, and revenge, which has haunted readers for generations. Now brought to life in this new stage adaptation, Wuthering Heights will have you wondering if the dead really stay buried.
Charly Armstrong is director and author of this version and said, “I read Wuthering Heights for the first time last year and I found it fascinating, inspiring me to write a stage adaptation. The characters, such as the principal leads Cathy and Heathcliff, are wonderfully complicated and dark, possessing many different motives that shape their relationships with others. 
“I love the macabre feel of Wuthering Heights, so there are plenty of ghostly and gothic elements within the play. It’s also fair to say it is more of a ghost story than a romance. Wuthering Heights is a great piece of storytelling – and I want the audience to feel like they have opened a book and stepped into it.” 

Wuthering Heights opens on Wednesday 4th March until Saturday 14th March 2020 at 7.30pm in the Oak Theatre at our Titchfield Lane site. Come early and enjoy a drink in one of our two exciting bars, where there will also be the opportunity to get refreshments during the interval.
