Easy-to-reach Haworth

The Daily Telegraph (Australia) features actor Remy Hii who's currently on stage with The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.

From Neighbours to Marco Polo on Netflix, Spider-Man: Far From Home and Crazy Rich Asians, the 35-year-old has had a varied career but live theatre is his happy place, so opening the contemporary adaptation of Anne Brontë’s The Tenant of Wildfell Hall this week has been a dream.

“It’s been seven years since I’ve been on stage, and it’s something I’ve been trying to get back to,” he tells Insider between rehearsals.

“I started off in the theatre. I went to drama school and was very theatrically based. I always thought that’s where I was going to have my career and then ended up going down the film and TV route which kept me really busy.” [...]

The Tenant Of Wildfell Hall follows the mysterious arrival of Helen Graham in the town of Lindenhope.

She has a young son in tow but no husband in sight — a concept which so shocked English society in 1848 that Brontë’s sister — Jane Eyre’s Charlotte Brontë — tried to stop the book’s republication.

Hii plays Gilbert Markham, the protagonist and narrator in the novel who falls in love with Graham, played by fellow NIDA graduate Tuuli Narkle. (Lisa Mayoh)

Get in before the hordes to visit the Brontë Parsonage Museum and tackle the moors, walking from the wild-feeling campsite at the Wuthering Heights Inn, a simple Yorkshire pub with pitches and two shepherd’s huts. It’s within easy driving distance of Leeds, or you can cycle in about two hours, but there’s also a bus from Bradford, which is even closer.
