The Mirror praises The Tenant of Wildfell Hall 1996:

Originally broadcast in 1996, this TV period drama deserves recognition amongst the finest examples within the genre - at least according to enthusiastic fans..

Drawing from Anne Brontë's 1848 novel, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is a British production made for the BBC under Mike Barker's direction.

Spanning three episodes broadcast in 1996, the series presents the novel's narrative in a manner many devotees consider faithful to the source material. (Emily Malia)

The Chester Standard presents a production of Sally Cookson's Jane Eyre in Chester. next Autumn:

This autumn, a powerful reimagining of Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre will be staged at Storyhouse in Chester from November 10 to 21, 2026.

Helen Redcliffe, Head of Producing at Storyhouse, said: "One of the key themes of Jane Eyre is personal discovery and development, which feels especially fitting as we celebrate the RTST Sir Peter Hall Director Award and its commitment to championing the next generation of theatre-makers.

"At Storyhouse, we are thrilled to be part of this partnership and to support Lily as she takes this exciting step in her career.

"From the moment we encountered her work, we were struck by her bold, imaginative style and her instinctive understanding of our venues and audiences.

"Her Jane Eyre promises to be a heightened, deeply theatrical experience, using the very best of storytelling to bring this beloved classic to life — and we are proud to play a part in what we’re certain will be an extraordinary journey for her and a memorable production for our community."

Jane Eyre is a co-production between Storyhouse, the Mercury Theatre, Colchester, and Rose Theatre Kingston. (...)

Lily Dyble, director, said: "What I see at the heart of this story is courage in the face of the unknown.

"Jane Eyre reminds us of the risk and enormity of love, but also how uncertainty can breed hope as well as fear; that we can choose to fiercely love each other and ourselves, even within chaos, and even when our old lives have been lost to the fire.

"I’m thrilled to be bringing Jane’s story to audiences across England this autumn, with the support of four wonderful venues and the RTST." (Josh Price)

La Stampa (Italy) visits the "Wuthering Heights's Yorkshire"... with some creative orthography: Woundering Heights, Kheigley...

Però lo Yorkshire della Emily Brontë e delle sue blande cime vince sul Wessex, sui Cotswolds, sul Somerset e Dorset perché è davvero ruvido, gotico e più selvaggio suscitando introflessioni talvolta dilanianti. Così, come non dire dell'ultima versione hot di "Woundering Heights" girata da Emerald Fennel con Jacob Elordi e Margot Robbie (una Cathy troppo adulta rispetto a Heathcliff) e trasformata in un fiaba nera, piena di sangue, sesso e sospironi? Un adattamento sicuramente meno sognato, rispetto alle storiche precedenti, ma pur sempre infarcito di dimore fatiscenti e scorci strazianti. Non solo cuori infranti ma pure danza amorose, macabre o salvifiche e ad alto tasso erotico. Per cui di grande successo anche in quel pubblico giovane che la Brontë manco sapeva chi fosse.
