Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights presented by Aquila Theatre Company

Wuthering Heights, one of the most famous works of literature in the world, was first published in 1847 under the male pseudonym Ellis Bell. Emily Brontë's only published work, Wuthering Heights recounts the tale of ill-fated lovers on the lonely moors of northern England. Heathcliff and Catherine meet as children when Catherine's father brings the abandoned boy home to live with them. The two grow up together, living freely on the moors while Heathcliff is tormented by Catherine's brother. When Catherine's parents die, her brother turns Heathcliff out, forcing him to live among the servants. Catherine marries and the crushed Heathcliff disappears. Years later, a wealthy Heathcliff returns, but is it too late for them to rekindle their impassioned romance?
