An alert from the Hay Festival in Hay-on-Wye:
Book to Screen: The new Wuthering Heights
Friday 22 May 2026, 5.30pm – Global Stage
Emerald Fennell is an Oscar-winning writer and a director known for work that sparks conversation and looks controversy straight in the face. Here she discusses her latest film, a big screen adaptation of Emily Brontë’s novel Wuthering Heights, starring Margot Robbie as Catherine Earnshaw and Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff.
Fennell first read the book at the age of 14, and says it quite simply “cracked me open”. As we’ve come to expect from the woman behind the controversial Saltburn, Fennell’s Wuthering Heights is provocative, sexy and primal. She's in conversation with the comedian and presenter, Tom Allen.
