Wuthering Heights, 24-27 July 2019

Brighton Open Air Theatre

A love as wild as the wind, a passion that echoes through the ages... Identity Theatre return to the BOAT with April de Angelis' thrilling adaptation of Wuthering Heights, Emily Brontë's passionate and spellbinding tale of forbidden love and revenge.

This classic tale of obsession and wild love is set on the windswept Yorkshire moors, and 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.
