Wuthering Heights in the Stamford Book Festival

Today, February 6, is a Wuthering Heights day in the Stamford Book Festival in the Stamford Arts Center (27 St. Mary's Street, Stamford, Lincolnshire, UK)

Literature at Lunchtime - Wuthering Heights (SOLD OUT)

Tuesday 6 February - at 12.30am in the Theatre

Dr Jane Mackay will examine the life and art of Emily Bronte whose search for deep emotional truth led critics to condemn her as 'vulgar in the extreme'.

And after the talk, you can see the 1939 William Wyler's film adaptation:

Tuesday 6 February
Film showing at: 14:30 in the Cinema

Wuthering Heights (U)
Director: William Wyler 1939 US 1hr43mins
Starring: Merle Oberon, Laurence Olivier, David Niven, Flora Robson, Geraldine Fitzgerald
One of the most compelling tragic romances ever captured on film, Wuthering Heights is an exquisite tale of doomed love and miscalculated intentions. Laurence Olivier and Merle Oberon were perfectly cast as the mismatched lovers, with Olivier brooding and despairing, Oberon ethereal and enchanting. Cinematographer Gregg Toland won a much-deserved Oscar for his haunting and evocative depiction of mid-19th century English moors.

The Brontë-related events continue next Friday, February 9, with a performance of Withering Looks by The LipService Company.
