![]() ![]() The local villagers scorn Merricat on her supply runs because of the six year old mystery that they feel taints the Blackwoods. Uncle Julian (the reliable Kingsley Day) is the sickly (both physically and mentally) living in a wheelchair and writing his long account of the family scandal. ![]() Constance (the excellent Shelia Willis) is both the housekeeper and cook for the Blackwood’s. ![]() Does she poses supernatural powers? We also experience her chastisement at the hands of the local villagers when Merricat shops for supplies on Tuesdays and Thursdays each week. We see the child-like and precocious Merricat (a winning performance by Elise Walter) as she fantasizes about flying to the moon in her whimsical escapes from her isolation. ![]() Utilizing every inch of Joe Schermoly’s detailed set, we experience how the three live happily isolated as their family love and total acceptance of one another fuels a copacetic existence. We meet Blackwood sisters and their invalid uncle as scandal forced the three into seclusion from their rural New England community. His play is a quirky, often funny and completely empathetic glimpse into the world of New England provincialism, the dark side of family ties, and the supernatural. Paul Edwards, the adapter and director of Shirley Jackson’s modern Gothic novel, We Have Always Lived In The Castle, has another triumph. Quirky mystery drama unfolds as fine entertainment Based on the novel by Shirley Jackson We Hve Always Lived In The Castle ![]()
