[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]New writing is the lifeblood of theatre, so it is welcoming to see\u00a0that the Lichfield Garrick Theatre<\/strong> is introducing us to Rebecca Newman<\/strong>, a Midlands\u00a0based actress and writer who is\u00a0producing and performing\u00a0in her own first play at\u00a0the Staffordshire theatre in April.<\/p>\n Her play, The Enduring Romance of Cathy and Heathcliff, <\/strong>which premiered at The Old Joint Stock Theatre<\/strong> as part of the 2015 Birmingham Fest<\/strong>,\u00a0<\/strong>is a new piece of theatre\u00a0writing inspired by the classic romance from Wuthering Heights.<\/strong><\/p>\n Cathy<\/em> is convinced she knows what she wants, a brawny, dashing man in chaps, just like Heathcliff<\/em>. However, the man she meets at the bus stop one day is far from her male romantic lead. Time after time, fate drags them back together, both willingly and unwillingly and the play follows their unconventional lives together.<\/p>\n Featuring some of the most iconic music from the 50\u2019s and 60\u2019s, The Enduring Romance of Cathy and Heathcliff\u00a0<\/strong>is an unconventional, dark, comedic reimagining of the classic romance.<\/p>\n Since graduating from\u00a0The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama<\/a>,<\/strong> Rebecca\u00a0has been working for stage, screen and radio and most notably she played nurse Ally Hunter<\/em> in BBC TVs \u2018Casualty\u2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n She is passionate about new theatre writing, and rightly so. \u00a0On writing\u00a0her play, Rebecca Newman<\/strong> said:<\/p>\n “The play has been a long time in development, but it\u2019s been a tonic to work on something that I enjoy. The industry is a slippery mistress and making my own work is my way of taking it by the horns.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n The play received very warm reviews when it debuted at\u00a0Birmingham Fest<\/strong>, and it will be interesting\u00a0to see how the play has matured since then in this new production.<\/p>\n The Enduring Romance of Cathy and Heathcliff <\/strong>plays at\u00a0the Lichfield Garrick Studio Theatre<\/strong> on Saturday 9\u00a0April 2016 as part of their\u00a0‘Garrick Introduces…’<\/em>\u00a0programme.<\/p>\n #NewWriting on show as @The_Garrick introduces 'The Enduring Romance of Cathy and Heathcliff' by @RebeccaNewman20 http:\/\/www.staffordshiretheatre.com\/the-enduring-romance-of-cathy-and-heathcliff-by-rebecca-newman-at-lichfield-garrick-theatre\/ <\/a><\/span>Click To Tweet<\/a><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1458774858440{background-color: #e8e8e8 !important;}”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1458950926278{padding-right: 40px !important;padding-left: 40px !important;}”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=”DATES, TIMES and BOOKING” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1458775149096{padding-top: 10px !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner css=”.vc_custom_1458775554849{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}” offset=”vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-12″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1459701986338{padding-right: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;}”]<\/p>\n Saturday\u00a09th April 2016,\u00a07:45pm<\/p>\n Standard<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a312, Students<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a38.50<\/span> [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner offset=”vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-12″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\nWHAT’S IT ABOUT?<\/h2>\n
