Join Chapterhouse Theater Company with family and friends for an unforgettable evening of authentic English drama. The British company will present Emily Bronte’s classic love story “Wuthering Heights” to Shenzhen in April. The play will be in English with Chinese subtitles.

    Set in the beautiful, mysterious wilderness of the Yorkshire moors, this treasured story of enduring love and passion has thrilled and entranced for generations and is now brought alive on stage in an adaptation by award-winning writer Laura Turner and presented at some of the most beautiful open-air venues across the United Kingdom and Ireland.

    “Wuthering Heights” was Bronte’s only novel. Written between October 1845 and June 1846, it was published in 1847 under the pseudonym “Ellis Bell,” one year before Bronte died.

    In the winter of 1999, Chapterhouse Theater Company took its first steps towards becoming one of a number of touring theater companies specializing in performing under the stars and at some of the most beautiful gardens Britain had to offer.

    The very first performance was at Herstmonceux Castle where the company performed “Romeo and Juliet” by the moat of the beautiful Tudor building. It was the start of an incredible 17 years which has seen the company go from strength to strength changing and adapting to new audiences and challenges every year but holding the same principles of producing warm, traditional and hopefully magical theater in magical surroundings.
