Smash-hit Wuthering Heights to be released on Sky Arts, Monday 7 Nov Hot on the heels of its barnstorming US run ("glorious", New York Times), the Bristol Old Vic co-production of Wise Children's Wuthering Heights is being released on Sky Arts this Monday 7 Nov at 9pm, available to watch across the UK and Ireland.

Recorded at Bristol Old Vic in 2021, this release marks the continuation of Bristol Old Vic's partnership with Sky Arts, which sees the UK TV premiere of two ground-breaking stage-to-film productions; Wonder Boy written by Ross Willis and directed by Sally Cookson (release date to be announced) and Wise Children's Wuthering Heights.

The Sunday Times is eager to watch it: 

Wuthering Heights (Sky Arts, 9pm)

Filmed at the Bristol Old Vic in November 2021, the Wise Children theatre company’s inventive version of Emily Brontë’s tempestuous masterpiece won’t be to everyone’s taste. Adapted and directed by Emma Rice, the production stomps along the boundary between the gothic and the grotesque, spit-and-sawdust folk song and dance, robust comedy and flamboyant theatrical devices adding texture to a story that hardly needs more drama. Yet it does capture the wildness of the intergenerational horror. Ash Hunter and Lucy McCormick throw themselves into the roles of Heathcliff and Cathy with suitably crazed abandon.  (Victoria Segal)
