Restoring Jagged Edges

A five-star review for the Inspector Sands's production of Wuthering Heights, as performed in Northampton, in The Guardian:

Wuthering Heights review – a deliciously dark Brontë with its jagged edges restored (...)

Emily Brontë’s gothic romance is so often cleansed of its darkest elements, from violent family abuse and animal torture to necrophilia and murderous desire.

This gloriously imaginative co-production, adapted by Ben Lewis and Lucinka Eisler, digs up all the death-obsessed, savage melodrama of the original love story between Catherine (Lua Bairstow) and Heathcliff (Ike Bennett), and adds its own killer ingredient: coal black humour. It works stupendously to create awful, awkward laughter. 

Created by Inspector Sands, a company that combines comedy with pathos, the humour is a few shades darker than Emma Rice’s recent, charming production. Where that satirised characters fondly, the comedy has sharper teeth here. (..)

Both silly and deadly serious to the end, this is Wuthering Heights with its jagged edges restored, full of moroseness but weirdly, wonderfully, entertaining. (Arifa Akbar)

Collider is more wrong than they can possibly imagine when it claims that,

One would think, in terms of adapting things for the small screen, we’d have exhausted the literary canon by now. Every Jane Austen novel has been done to death, and the Brontë sisters are relatively close behind. (Maggie Boccella)

Not even close...
