Script writer Laura said she felt honoured to have had the opportunity to adapt one of her all time favourite romantic novels. She commented: “I was really thrilled because I first read the novel when I was fourteen and had a really strong reaction.

“It’s a challenging story to adapt, spanning two generations, but I hope that I have managed to instil all the passion and wildness of Emily Brontë’s masterpiece and that people fall for Catherine and Heathcliff just as I have.”

Director Rebecca Gadsby added: “Your heart will be in your mouth for two hours!

“Jane Austen is my love and passion, but having some dark melodrama to work on will be inspiring and very exciting.”
