Production details
Brontë goes to Bollywood in an irresistible new musical The scorched desert landscape of Rajasthan is the setting for this musical interpretation of Emily Brontë’s classic tale of passion, jealousy and revenge. Shakuntala, headstrong daughter of spice merchant Singh, falls for Krishan, a street urchin that Singh brings home after one of his trips to market. But can their adolescent love withstand India’s rigid social hierarchies, and Shakuntala’s yearning for a life inside Vijay’s sumptuous haveli?
Wuthering Heights is the latest show from leading British Asian Company, Tamasha - creator of Fourteen Songs, Two Weddings and a Funeral (winner of the Barclays Theatre Award for Best Musical) and the groundbreaking East is East. Influenced by a history of Indian cinema - from brooding black-and-white epics of the 40s and 50s, to colourful contemporary blockbusters - it will captivate theatregoers of all ages.
