...opening night in the theater is ordinarily a state of controlled disaster. But Wuthering Heights is no ordinary show. Subtitled "A Pop Myth," the setting and costumes are an amalgam of Victorian Gothic and MTV Modernism, and almost all the dialogue has been replaced by lip-synching to pop songs by the likes of Sting and Kate Bush.

...atmospheres, mood pieces like Echo and the Bunnymen's best album. Heaven Up Here. It was Jones who channeled the Bunneymen's monotone assault to give that record its haunting and menacing character. At the helm of two new bands. Del Amitri and The Colourfield. Jones has forsaken the Gothic terror of Heaven for the chumminess of well plucked acoustic guitars through crystal clear pop production. And the results are mixed...
