A LOCAL actress will take on a major role in an adaptation of Emily Brontë’s ‘Wuthering Heights’ staged in Haworth Parish Church.

Geraldine Bell, better known as Gerry, will play the part of the story’s narrator Nellie, who is the housekeeper and confidante of both leading characters Cathy and Heathcliff.

The play is being produced by Jorvik Theatre Company and will be staged on Saturday, July 30, as part of a celebration of the church’s reopening following the completion of repairs.
