Travel across Yorkshire's stormy moors with one of literature's darkest antiheroes in this legendary tale of devotion and redemption. An epic love story, re-imagined as a highly physical work of powerful imagery, by the adaptor and director of 'Mariette in Ecstasy.' The show runs approximately two hours with one intermission, and copies of the book will be on sale in the lobby.
