About We Have Always Lived in the Castle
"I have often thought that with any luck at all I could have been born a werewolf, because the middle two fingers on both my hands are the same length. I dislike washing myself, and dogs, and noise. I like my sister Constance, Richard Plantagenet, and Amanita phalloides, the death-cup mushroom. Everyone else in my family is dead."
There once were seven Blackwoods. Now there are only three.
Agoraphobic Constance, bewildered Uncle Julian, and resourceful eighteen-year-old Merricat live in peaceful isolation, Merricat’s powerful “web of protection” keeping the house safe from the enemies beyond the garden gate. For six years Merricat has kept the outside world at bay, but now Cousin Charles has come to stay, having heard rumours of a hidden Blackwood fortune…
Based on the classic psychological horror novel by Shirley Jackson (The Haunting of Hill House), this thrilling new adaptation by Alistair McDowall (Pomona; all of it) is directed by Sarah Frankcom (Fun Home; The Last Stand of Mrs. Mary Whitehouse).
