Variety reports that Claire Foy and Richard E. Grant have signed on to the lead roles of and upcoming dark comedy movie titled Savage House. Rounding out the cast is Bel Powley, Jack Farthing, Kila Lord Cassidy, Richard McCabe, Vicki Pepperdine and Pip Torrens.
“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,” 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.”
Savage House is directed and produced by Peter Glanz.
