WUTHERING Heights, the classic tale of tragic love set on the Yorkshire Moors, is coming to Alcester.

The play is performed by Two Hats Theatre Company, which has made a splash over the last few years with sell-out shows such as The Servant of Two Masters, One Evening in Russia and Terry Johnson's Hysteria.

The story is a passionate and punchy tale that doesn't lose the novel's epic feel.

It uses five Victorian actors to tell the story and play all the characters.

Juliet Barker, a world authority on the Brontës, said: "Of all the adaptations of Wuthering Heights that I've seen - film or theatre - this was the best."

Newcomers Matthew Dudley and Krisha Harman will take the parts of Edgar and Nelly.

Matthew has just finished playing Earnest in the Crescent Theatre's The Importance of Being Earnest.

Krisha is a native Yorkshirewoman and past roles include Antigone, Juliet and Lady Macbeth.

The play is on Thursday, November 29 at the Greig Hall and starts at 7.30pm.

Tickets cost £7 (£6 concessions) from 01789 400073.
