Wise Children have today announced new dates for Emma Rice’s adaptation of Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights, which is a co-production with the National Theatre, Bristol Old Vic and York Theatre Royal. 

The production will open at Bristol Old Vic on 11 October 2021, running to 6 November, with performances in the final week due to be livestreamed. It will then transfer to York Theatre Royal between 8-20 November, with plans to run at the National Theatre in 2022 prior to visiting the Lowry, Theatre Royal Nottingham, Sunderland Empire and Kings Theatre Edinburgh, with further dates to be announced. The show is set to star Lucy McCormick as Cathy, with more casting to be announced. 

Emma Rice said: “It is with an earthy spring in my step and epic twinkle in my eye that I announce our new plans for Wuthering Heights. So many projects have fallen by the wayside during lockdown that there were times when I lost hope – but there was no need! Wise Children are back; stronger, wiser and grateful for the chance to sing and dance again. The exceptional cast, crew, administrative and creative teams are ready to go and we are fizzing with ideas, dreams and anticipation. Emboldened and humbled by the enforced break, I feel truly lucky. I cannot wait to get back to doing what I love most and to share this thrilling and important piece with the world. It’s time.”
