Özet:

 This study seeks to analyse the adaptation of Emily Brontës canonical work focusing on Emma Rices play Wuthering Heights 2022 and its transformation of the conventional forms of Brontës canonical original into more experimental directions. Adaptation is an acknowledged transposition of a recognisable other work or works Hutcheon, 2006, p. 8. Catherine Rees clarifies the distinctive appeal of adaptation whereby another attraction of adaptation is the opportunity it offers for presenting texts in a new context Rees, 2017, p. 3. Within this context, Emma Rices play, analysing the original text in a new format, interprets Catherine and Heathcliff as Greek gods. The theatrical version of Wuthering Heights, performed at Bristol Old Vic in front of a live audience, retold a canonical story. Emily Brontës Wuthering Heights had a great impression on the Victorian community when it was first published. Through studies and the medium of adaptation, Brontës work has been analysed and discussed in the ages and reached more and more readers and audiences. This study delves into how an adaptation of Wuthering Heights in the form of performance is represented by Emma Rice. Through music, dance, grief, hope, passion and revenge, Rice portrays a contemporary revenge tragedy by adapting Emily Brontës magnum opus into a theatrical performance. By referring to the ancient chorus, Rice tries to represent Catherine and Heathcliff as a tragic heroine and a hero. In Rices adaptation, Heathcliffs adoption is turned into an experimental performance.
