Wuthering Heigts, Mary Harris Memorial Chapel, University of Exeter, Prince of Wales Road, Exeter, runs until Saturday 11th February, 7.30pm
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 passionate love, but Cathy lets her head rule her heart as she chooses to marry wealthy Edgar Linton.
Heathcliff flees broken-hearted, only to return seeking terrible vengeance on those he holds responsible, with epic and tragic results.
This dark, menacing production is lovingly portrayed by Writer’s Block Theatre. You can expect instinctive storytelling in breath-taking surroundings and a heady mix of live dark contemporary music.
Director Chloe Whittaker, said: “Writer’s Block Theatre will perform this stunning show around you. From all areas of the Chapel; you will experience the action up close. You will be delighted by the live original music composed for this production, performed by cello and piano, taking you on an emotional journey.
Enjoy a visually exciting performance in this haunting candle-lit space, and beautiful hand-made traditional style costumes with a contemporary edge. With our cast of very talented actors, this epic, dramatic and tragic story will grip you from start to end’.”
By Emily Bronte, adapted by April de Angelis, Directed by Chloe Whittaker, Assistant Directed by Sofie Francis
