🎭 Wise_Children cunning adaptation of Wuthering Heights at chicagoshakes leans into the darkness and nihilism of Emily Bronte's novel.-kerryreid
in this Chicago Shakespeare WorldStage presentation leans unapologetically into the wildness and rage of the feral lovers. They’re first brought together as children when Catherine’s father, Mr. Earnshaw, rescues Heathcliff from the docks of Liverpool and brings him home to the titular house in the wilds of Yorkshire. But then Mr. Earnshaw dies. As do so many others in this grim tale. As did so many people surrounding Emily.
Over nearly three hours, Rice’s kinetic ensemble breathes life into these doomed figures, aided by a chorus known as the Moors, replacing the narrative function of housekeeper Nelly Dean in the original. It’s a smart choice, letting us know that the wild land itself keeps the secrets of the doomed humans who trod upon it.
