Don’t miss this chilling theatrical adaptation of Shirley Jackson’s “near perfect” (Stephen King) classic ghost story. From best-selling novel to major hit Netflix series, The Haunting of Hill House now takes to the stage in this gripping new production that blurs the line between heart-thumping suspense and the supernatural.
This bold new stage adaptation is tense, unsettling and darkly playful, where Shadows whisper, walls remember and nothing is as it seems… As grief, desire and the dangerous comfort of belonging seep through every wall, one question lingers: is Hill House haunted…or are we?
“A ghost can be a lot of things.
A memory, a daydream, a secret, grief, anger, guilt. ” When a group of daring investigators take on the mystery of Hill House, curiosity quickly descends into fear.
Experiments plunge into darkness.
Strange disturbances ripple through twisting corridors. . As the house tightens its grip, it will leave you on the edge of your seat… and questioning what is real long after the curtain falls. The Haunting of Hill House, based on the novel by Shirley Jackson, adapted for the stage by Olivier and BAFTA winner Stef Smith and directed by Sky Arts Award winner Martin Constantine.
Mark Puddle, with Alexander “Sandy” Marshall and Patrick Myles, present a Wiltshire Creative production in association with Theatr Clwyd. Supported using public funding by Arts Council England
