Thursday, 23 July 2026 05:30

The stage adaptation of Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House, adapted by Olivier and BAFTA Award-winning writer Stef Smith, has announced its full cast ahead of its world premiere at Salisbury Playhouse this autumn.

You may have read Shirley Jackson's original novel, or seen the Netflix series, but now The Haunting of Hill House comes to Salisbury Playhouse before embarking on a national tour.

What to expect:

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.

Martin Constantine directs Jasper Britton (Dr. Montague), Jemma Churchill (Mrs Montague), Sian Howard (Mrs Dudley), Sophie Lenglinger (Theo), Robin Morrissey (Luke), and Clancy Ryan (Eleanor).

Stef Smith today said: “Shirley Jackson created one of the greatest haunted house stories ever written, and it’s an absolute honour to adapt it for the stage. I’m so excited by this cast, whose talent, sensitivity and imagination will breathe new life into these characters. I can’t wait for audiences to experience The Haunting of Hill House in a completely new way!”

A Wiltshire Creative production in association with Theatr Clwyd, The Haunting of Hill House opens at Salisbury Playhouse on 11 September, continuing at Richmond Theatre from 6 - 10 October before embarking on a UK tour to Theatre Clwyd, Theatre Royal Brighton, Palace Theatre Manchester, Liverpool Everyman and Playhouse, Royal Lyceum Theatre, concluding at Cambridge Arts Theatre on 21 November.

Shirley Jackson’s iconic novel is widely regarded as one of the greatest works of supernatural fiction. It was later adapted into the critically acclaimed Netflix series of the same name, introducing a new generation to Jackson’s haunting masterpiece. 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.

“A ghost can be a lot of things. A memory, a daydream, a secret, grief, anger, guilt.”
