About this listen

A feverish re-imagining of literature’s most infamous romantic villain.

The Heathcliff we know is obsessive, possessive and cruel, bound and beholden to his childhood love and would-be soulmate Catherine, and their home at Wuthering Heights. But before his descent into monstrous revenge, there were three missing years. A time of possibility, freedom and a different kind of love…

With Cathy’s rejection burning hot in his ears, Heathcliff flees the moors and arrives in London, seeking distraction and oblivion. There he is rescued by Sir Francis Barber, the Black adopted son of Samuel Johnson who urges him to forge his own path. Along the way he meets the reckless gambler, Lord Montgomery and the beautiful courtesan Rhoda Pascal, and begins to chart a path towards fortune, and belonging. In growing closer to Rhoda, he starts to untangle the mystery of who he is, but Cathy's ghostly presence, calling to him like a siren song, draws him ever back to his own dark nature, and the bewildering memories of Wuthering Heights...

Starring Daryl McCormack (Good Luck to You, Leo Grande) as Heathcliff; with Arinzé Kene (The Pass), Charlie Rowe (Slow Horses), Gracie Oddie-James (The Lady from the Sea), Sagar Radia (Industry), Raffey Cassidy (The Brutalist) and Tanya Moodie (Silo).

Written by Gracie Oddie-James. Directed by Mahalia Belo.

A completely satisfying journey into Heathcliff’s years away. A fantastic story with political, violent and sensual twists and turns. A wonderful female lead in Rhoda too.

Please note: I’ve never read Wuthering Heights…

However, this drama was amazing and stands on its own.

Excellent story and the acting was superb.

Wow! Wonderful drama

This recording was so confusing at the beginning that I almost gave up. Throughout I alternated between understanding what was happening and having no idea, mainly because several of the male voices were so similar. It's an okay story but not fantastic.

Confusing
