Aussie Theatre features the forthcoming Wuthering Heights set to open at the Roslyn Packer Theatre on January 31st.
There’s a palpable buzz circling Sydney’s theatre scene, and it’s centred on a sweeping new adaptation of WUTHERING HEIGHTS set to open at the Roslyn Packer Theatre. Lovers of classic literature, fans of gripping gothic romances, and anyone keen to immerse themselves in a fresh theatrical experience will have their curiosity piqued by this production. Even if you’ve read Emily Brontë’s original novel (or perhaps devoured the 1939 film adaptation featuring Laurence Olivier), you’ll still find surprises in this latest retelling. From the pounding of a wild heart to the echo of a distant moor, WUTHERING HEIGHTS promises to deliver all the passion and intensity of Brontë’s masterpiece—while offering a bold new vision for modern theatregoers.
Rather than a conventional approach, this production embraces the emotional turmoil at the story’s core, matching it with an evocative set design and a cast determined to breathe new life into the classic tale. For those yet to discover the tragic saga of Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, consider this an invitation: come for the brooding romance; stay for the innovative staging, complex characters, and haunting beauty of a story that’s as relevant today as it was nearly two centuries ago.

“I grew up thinking that romantic love was the ultimate goal to strive for and achieving that was the only true prize in life that mattered,” says Emilia Vuorisalmi, an acclaimed Finnish doctor and self-confessed “love addict”. “I came from a family where my father rode bare-chested on a white horse to go and woo my mother. She, in turn, sacrificed everything to live with him in the countryside and they were together until her death. Our family was open-hearted, passionate, and everything revolved around love.”
Given that Brontë-esque example as Dr Vuorisalmi’s blueprint, it’s hardly surprising that as a teenager growing up in the Finnish countryside, then later a medical student in Helsinki, the beautiful blonde was hard-wired to seek romance. (Susanna Galton)
Glamour (Spain) interviews writer Virginia Feito, who's somewhat uninspired and uninspiring when talking about visiting the Brontë Parsonage Museum when young.
Luego cambiamos de autor, eventualmente, cuando básicamente arrastré a mis padres a la casa museo de las Brontë. Estaba como a cuatro horas en coche de Londres. Fue un viaje insoportable. Fatal para las lumbares, todo por la maldita casa y ver el mechón de pelo de Charlotte en la vitrina, el reloj de su padre el reverendo, el páramo y los cementerios… (Gema Hospido) (Translation)
