Emily Bronte's renowned novel, Wuthering Heights, has come to the stage at McCarter Theatre Center in Princeton, NJ. This version of the story is presented by Wise Children, an English theatrical company created and led by Emma Rice. The production is very well-acted and extremely cleverly staged. However, the fine performances only serve to emphasize how awful the main characters in this story, Cathy and Heathcliff really are. Also, at almost three hours, the show is quite long. Although it doesn't feel as long as that, we definitely wouldn't recommend it for anyone with a short attention span. All in all, it is worth seeing if you enjoy seeing classic stories come to life on stage and/or you want to see a talented group of actors at their finest.
