Photos: Inside Rehearsal For WUTHERING HEIGHTS UK Tour
Performances run at Royal & Derngate, Northampton from 24 April - 6 May, ahead of a UK tour.
All new rehearsal photos have been released for WUTHERING HEIGHTS, the brand-new adaptation of Emily Brontë's classic novel, opening at Royal & Derngate, Northampton from 24 April - 6 May, with a national press night on Friday 28 April ahead of a UK tour, playing Oxford, London, Coventry and Newcastle.
Channelling Emily Brontë's piercing wit and fierce emotion, Inspector Sands presents a retelling of this classic story of obsessive love and revenge in their boldly humorous and humane style. Their thrilling new version draws out themes of intergenerational trauma, and the dangerous impact of social exclusion...confronting us all with urgent questions for our own times.
Told through the eyes and memories of housekeeper Nelly, alone in her kitchen during a long night of the soul, haunted by the story.
