about the show.
“I am Heathcliff! Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.”
The Yorkshire moors tell an epic story of love, revenge and redemption. Rescued from the Liverpool docks as a child, Heathcliff is adopted by the Earnshaws and taken to live at Wuthering Heights.
He finds a kindred spirit in Catherine Earnshaw and a fierce love ignites. When forced apart, a brutal chain of events is unleashed. Shot through with music, dance, passion and hope, Emma Rice transforms Emily Brontë’s masterpiece into a powerful and uniquely theatrical experience: an intoxicating revenge tragedy for our time.
After successful UK and US tours, and a run at the National Theatre, Emma Rice’s smash-hit adaptation of Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights returns for an
international tour – of Sydney, Kaohsiung, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Chengdu and Suzhou.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"Matthew Churcher plays nasty Hindley Earnshaw and the much-neglected Hareton Earnshaw. Churcher is athletic and restrained and holds these characters carefully in control until riled. He makes them tightly strung, conscious of their place and restrictions."
Stage Whispers
Reviews
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"Emma Rice has thrown away all the rulebooks and harnessed the beating heartand slippery soul of Emily Brontë's unwieldy gothic monster, Wuthering Heights, in a wildly imaginative exhilarating piece of theatre."
The Daily Mail
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"Emma Rice... is a magician. She takes the book's ghost story and re-makes it in the style of one of our oldest theatrical traditions: a Greek tragedy. In her hands, Wuthering Heights reaches beyond the page to become mythology - and offer us a warning."
The Guardian
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"Emma Rice has arrived in Sydney for a strictly limited Australian season, with a cast of impeccable actors from London in tow."

"Matthew Churcher and Robyn Sinclair deliver a sweet, unlikely ending... this Wuthering Heights is a strange and intoxicating marvel of an adaptation."
Sydney Morning Herald
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"Matthew Churcher gives Heathcliff's first tormenter Hindley a requisite savagery while presenting Hindley's son Hareton with a similar aggression born of his treatment from his father and uncle."
