Heathcliff Goes Home

Heathcliff Goes Home is an English musical play by Reza de Wet (1952-2012).

The original text

The is a reworking of one of De Wets earliest stage plays, Heathcliff and the Dancing Bear, and explores the life of Emily Brontë's brooding hero before he arrived at Wuthering Heights. Originally written in the early 1980s, it uses the world of the travelling performers as frame. The original play had not been published or produced at the time, but was finally produced as a musical under the new title of Heathcliff Goes Home in 2007. This was De Wet's final directorial production at Rhodes University.
