Wuthering Heights

We don’t in general take to strangers here… unless they take to us first.

Channelling Emily Brontë’s piercing wit and fierce emotion, Inspector Sands bring their characteristic humour, passion and pathos to the infamous love story of Catherine and Heathcliff. Wuthering Heights contains violence, peril, social awkwardness, exhilarating music, high winds and mud.

Wuthering Heights was developed with the support of Bristol Old Vic Ferment, UCL Culture, The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama and Jacksons Lane, and was co-produced by China Plate, Inspector Sands, Royal & Derngate, Northampton, and Oxford Playhouse. This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere and UK tour in May 2023.
