'Wuthering Nights' this Friday to celebrate Brontë/Bush birthday
A drag queen will provide a performance full of camp, comedy, and drama this Friday (July 25) as part of a dual celebration of Emily Brontë and Kate Bush.
RuPaul's Drag Race UK star, Kate Butch, will be performing at South Square Centre in Thornton as part of Wuthering Nights.
Brontë and Bush share a birthday (July 30), having been born 140 years apart, in 1818 and 1958 respectively.
Comedy, performance art, a Wuthering dance-a-long, facepainting, dress-up, and a DJ will all feature at Wuthering Nights.
Butch, a stand-up comedian and 'professional menace to society,' said: "I'm delighted to be heading to the wily, windy moors of Bradford for an evening of Bushy fun this July.
"As my namesake suggests, I'm a massive fan of all things Kate Bush, and I can't wait to get my wuther on in the very heart of Brontë country.

"Expect a performance that's camp, chaotic, and full of drama – just like Kate Bush and the Brontës.
"Come and join the fun!"
The event also celebrates the Wondering Heights project, led by artist Lucy Barker as part of the Bradford 2025 Artist-led Project Awards.
Wondering Heights encourages exploration, imagination, and movement through a Wuthering Heights-inspired dance routine.
