The Wise Children production of
Wuthering Heights gets a Chicago premiere:
A co-production with the National Theatre, Wise Children, Bristol Old Vic, and York Theatre Royal
in association with Berkeley Repertory Theatre
The Yard at Chicago Shakespeare
January 27 - February 19, 2023
Groundbreaking theatermaker Emma Rice returns with an exuberant reimagining of Emily Brontë’s gothic masterpiece, Wuthering Heights. Live music, dance, puppetry, and a dash of impish irreverence combine in an intoxicating revenge tragedy for our time. On the wild moors of Yorkshire, an orphaned Heathcliff is adopted by the Earnshaws and taken to live at Wuthering Heights, where he finds a kindred spirit in Catherine. As they grow up together, a fierce love ignites between them—and when forced apart, a brutal chain of events is unleashed in an epic story of passion, revenge, and redemption.
This celebrated co-production from the UK is part of Chicago Shakespeare’s WorldStage Series—a landmark commitment to bring the world’s great theatres to Chicago and
Chicago Shakespeare to the world.
