Dangerous Excitement

Whatsonstage reviews the Wuthering Heights performances by the Red Rose Chain Theatre Company:

Joanna Carrick's adaptation has designs by David Newborn which plant us firmly in a churchyard, perhaps even the one which bordered Haworth parsonage. Clad in permutations of pinks and purples, the eight actors are white-faced and skull-eyes, their shoulders increasingly powdered wih grave dust.
As Catherine Earnshaw, Kirsty Thorpe gives a fine performance which lays bare the character's dual yearnings – for the dangerous excitement which is Heathcliff (Daniel Abbott)'s aura and the genteel civilisation offered, on the surface, at any rate, by Isabella (Lucy Telleck) and Edgar (Laurence Pears) Linton. (Anne Morley-Priestman)

Time Magazine reviews the new TV series Outlander:

 Either way, Claire and Frank spend almost all their time having sex in derelict castle cellars and creaky hotel rooms, but Claire — like Heathcliff and Cathy before her — clearly needs to unbridle her passions all over some moors, ASAP. That’s a problem that can only be solved by time travel! (Mehera Bonner)

The Guardian is covering the Edinburgh International Book Festival:

This set us thinking about the tradition of "other spouse stories" that has grown up since Jean Rhys burgled Jane Eyre to write Wide Sargasso Sea , about the first Mrs Rochester. (Moira Redmont)
