Richard E. Grant tells Collider’s Steve Weintraubhe immediately found the appeal of writer-director Peter Glanz’s (The Longest Week) grotesque sophomore feature, Savage House, upon his first read of the script. This dark comedy, which premiered at SXSW London, is a satirical tale of two 18th-century social climbers, Sir Chauncey Savage (Grant) and his wife, Lady Savage, played by The Crown’s Claire Foy, who are desperately clawing for status and wealth, even as they near bankruptcy, never mind the massive pox outbreak or social upheaval of the time.
