UK director Emma Rice thinks the classic novel Wuthering Heights has many contemporary resonances, particularly around the origins of the character Heathcliff. Rice turned the story into a rollicking play after successfully adapting other English folktales and films for the stage. She tells us about her career, which included briefly leading Shakespeare's Globe theatre before founding her own company Wise Children.

Rwandan writer and director Dorcy Rugamba brings his moving theatre piece Hewa Rwanda: Letter to the absent to the Adelaide Festival. In it, he honours the family members he lost in the 1994 genocide, and the performance has a spiritual significance, accompanied by musician Majnun.
