Claire Foy, Richard E. Grant and more have joined the cast of the forthcoming period black comedy film titled, Savage House.
In addition to Foy and Grant, Bel Powley, Jack Farthing, Kila Lord Cassidy, Richard McCabe, Vicki Pepperdine and Pip Torrens have also joined the cast. Production on the project has just wrapped in the U.K. At the moment, the film has no announced release date.
“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 and Lady Savage and their blind pursuit of a better life,” reads the official synopsis. “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.
“With everything going on in the world right now, it feels criminal to not make a film that’s saying something, that’s shining a spotlight on inequities and inequalities, on the growing class divide and power dynamics,” Glanz said in a statement. “But you never want to be prescriptive or academic, that’s why I love period films. They allow us to be a step removed, to look in the mirror and see ourselves without the preconceived baggage of modern life.
