Product Description:

JANE EYRE: Charlotte Brontë's Gothic romance gets the BBC and Masterpiece Theater treatment in this two-part miniseries. Ruth Wilson plays the title role, one of the most beloved characters in classic fiction, thanks to her independence and intelligence. After a difficult childhood, Jane finds work as a governess at Thornfield Hall. There she meets and falls in love with its mysterious owner, Edward Rochester (Toby Stephens), though things aren't as simple as they seem. Prior to this role, Stephens may have been most recognizable for playing a Bond villain in DIE ANOTHER DAY. But he turns in a performance here that may place him next to Colin Firth's legendary Mr. Darcy in the hearts of viewers.

WUTHERING HEIGHTS: Masterpiece Theatre presents this adaptation of Emily Brontë's Gothic novel starring Orla Brady as Cathy, the story's tragic heroine. In the prototypical amour fou, Cathy engages in a passionate love affair with Heathcliff, a dark stranger taken in by her family. However, their relationship is thwarted by their class differences, the disapproval of Cathy's parents, and her eventual marriage to Edgar Linton. Faithfully rendering Brontë's enormously moving tale of obsession, passion, fate, and revenge, this production of WUTHERING HEIGHTS is sure to please not only devotees of the novel but neophytes as well.
