Set against the backdrop of 18th century England, a massive Pox outbreak, and Jacobite Uprising – this is a timely and darkly satirical story of Sir Chauncey Savage (Richard E. Grant) and Lady Savage’s (Claire Foy) blind pursuit of a better life.
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.
Within Savage House, the environment of the South West shows the high class of the Savages, highlighting heritage through the Gothic architecture of Montacute House.
Montacute House: The magnificent Elizabethan Renaissance mansion is located near Yeovil and provides the grand setting and rich atmospheric scenery for this bold new film. Montacute House acts as the sole location for the Dark Comedy and highlights the opulence of Georgian living.
