Wuthering Heights in Birmingham

Today, April 14, in Birmingham, AL, a new theatre adaptation of Wuthering Heights opens:

Theatre Downtown presents
Wuthering Heights
by Emily Brontë. Adapted and directed by Kenny Morris.

Thursdays-Sundays April 14-May 1, 2011 at 8.00 PM

This adaptation is a faithful rendering of the classic novel for the stage. Wuthering Heights is perhaps the most haunting and tormented love story ever written. A novel that has been called “the most passionately original novel of the English language”, has proven to be one of the Nineteenth Century’s most popular yet disturbing masterpieces. The windswept moors are the unforgettable setting of this tale of doomed love between the troubled orphan Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw. Through Catherine’s betrayal of Heathcliff and his bitter vengeance, their mythic passion haunts the next generation even after their deaths. Incorporating elements of many genres from gothic novels and ghost stories to poetic allegory -- and transcending them all, Wuthering Heights is a mystifying and powerful tour de force.
