Review: THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE, Theatre Royal Brighton
by Caroline Cronin - Oct 21, 2026

Review: THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE, Richmond Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - Oct 9, 2026

Shirley Jackson’s 1959 gothic novel skyrocketed back to recognition in 2018 when it inspired Mike Flanagan’s Netflix sensation of the same name. It’s time for theatre to get its share now, with Stef Smith (of Nora: A Doll’s House fame) adapting Jackson’s original material into a ghostly examination of resentment. Paranormal investigator Dr. John Montague has invited a handful of guests to help him find scientific evidence of the existence of the supernatural at Hill House. As the group begins to experience a series of unexplained events, it becomes apparent that there’s more to the mystery of Hill House, and our characters need to look inward. Directed by Martin Constantine, it’s a decent choice for this spooky season.
