A production of Wuthering Heights will be performed at Oakwell Country Park on Wednesday August 13, as part of Chapterhouse Theatre Company’s tour of outdoor venues.

Script writer Lana Turner said: “It’s a challenging story to adapt, spanning two generations, but I hope that I have managed to instill all the passion and wildness of Emily Brontë’s masterpiece and that people fall for Catherine and Heathcliff just as I have.”
