The production, adapted by Olivier and BAFTA Award-winning writer Stef Smith, will have its world premiere at Salisbury Playhouse before coming to the Theatre Royal Brighton from Tuesday, October 20, to Saturday, October 24, 2026. The Haunting of Hill House is produced by Mark Puddle with Alexander “Sandy” Marshall and Patrick Myles, and is a Wiltshire Creative production in association with Theatr Clwyd. Stef Smith said: "Shirley Jackson created one of the greatest haunted house stories ever written, and it’s an absolute honour to adapt it for the stage. "I can’t wait for audiences to experience The Haunting of Hill House in a completely new way." The story follows a group of investigators whose curiosity about Hill House quickly turns to fear as they encounter strange disturbances and the house's grip tightens.
