Savage House
Polite society has never been so Savage.
A darkly comedic period piece that mines irony from the gap between aristocratic pretension and chaotic reality, set against 18th-century upheaval.
Against the backdrop of 18th century England, a massive pox outbreak, and Jacobite uprising – Sir Chauncey Savage and Lady Savage blindly pursue a better life. It's 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.
