Notes
○ Wuthering Heights was a revival of a play first produced by the Studio Theatre Company at Theatre in the Round at the Library Theatre, Scarborough, in 1956. Further details of the original production can be found here.
○ Notably the director, Julian Herington, apparently spent the entire Theatre in the Round at the Library Theatre's summer season budget on just his two productions Wuthering Heights and Love After All.
○ Wuthering Heights was originally scheduled to only run from 23 - 29 June, 14 - 20 July and 25 - 31 August. However, when 'Prentice Pillar had two of its three week repertory season cut, Wuthering Heights final week was extended from 18 - 31 August.
○ This was an adaption of Emily Brontë's famed novel.
○ Wuthering Heights was presented without an interval.
