Wuthering opening in London and cancelling in Stourbridge

A new production of Wuthering Heights is now on stage in London:

Myriad Theatre Productions presents
Wuthering Heights
adapted for the stage by Connie Stephens

What if you lived slap bang in the middle of the Yorkshire Moors, four miles from the nearest house, in 1780? No electricity, no Sky Box Office, no iPhone, not even a good book…except for THE Good Book. Just you and your – yes, let’s face it – somewhat drunken and completely dysfunctional family.

Genetic ties aside, there’s only one out of this collective whom you truly love, with whom you have always felt an inexplicable, feral connection since your father brought him home a ragged, abandoned child. But Heathcliff has no money, no education, no means of making his way in life and your ruthless brother, Hindley, has made it his business to ensure that he never will.

You have just three options: marry Heathcliff and remain utterly penniless, at the mercy of your brother’s rabid mood swings; go away, become a governess to heaven knows who or what; or marry the wealthy landowner who has fallen in love with you and use his money and station to place Heathcliff as far from your brother’s clutches as possible.

So, what do you choose? 

Wednesday 10th - Saturday 14th July, 7.30 pm

Barons Court Theatre

Please note, this is an indoor performance.

Regrettably we have to announce that this other Wuthering Heights production , adapted by Charles Vance, scheduled to be premiered also today in Stourbridge, UK has been cancelled due to the unsettled weather. Stourbridge News informs:

Barbara French, company spokesman, said: “We’ve lost odd nights in the past but we’ve never cancelled a whole run before.
“But in view of the severe weather that has been experienced during June and July, and the weather forecast for this week, the likelihood of the performances being affected by rain is considerable.
“We apologise for any inconvenience caused.”
Seasoned amateur actors Karen Whittingham and David Claridge were due to star as ill-fated lovers Cathy and Heathcliffe (sic) in the show, set on the windswept Yorkshire moors, which was due to run from Wednesday July 11 to Saturday July 14.
It will now be staged at Stourbridge Town Hall instead - from Thursday September 6 to Saturday September 8, with performances starting at 8pm.
Those with tickets for the Himley Hall production can use them to attend any of the performances at Stourbridge Town Hall.
