The first trailer for Savage House has landed!
“Polite society has never been so savage”, we’re told, in this new comedic period drama set in 18th century England.
Heading to cinemas this summer, the “timely and darkly satirical story” stars Richard E Grant (The Other Bennet Sister) and Claire Foy (The Crown).
They’re joined by Bel Powley (A Small Light), Jack Farthing (The Lost Daughter), Kila Lord Cassidy (The Wonder), Richard McCabe (Napoleon), Vicki Pepperdine (Poor Things), and Pip Torrens (The Iron Lady).
Watch the trailer here:
“Set against the backdrop of eighteenth century England, a massive pox outbreak, and Jacobite uprising – this is a timely and darkly satirical story of Sir Chauncey Savage (Grant) and Lady Savage (Foy) and their blind pursuit of a better life,” the official synopsis tells us.
“It is not without a tinge of irony that their family name is the Savages, for this is a Savage House indeed. Filled with duels, decadence, and bloodshed, this is a madcap play on class and power.”
Savage House is set for release in cinemas in June.
