The Haunting of Hill House new stage adaptation to tour this autumn

A brand new adaptation of Shirley Jackson‘s classic horror story The Haunting of Hill House is premiering later this year.

The Haunting of Hill House is the nail-biting psychological thriller by acclaimed horror novelist Shirley Jackson, which was also turned into a classic Hammer horror film The Haunting, and a hit Netflix supernatural horror TV series.

This new stage adaptation of Jackson’s book is by Olivier and BAFTA winner Stef Smith (Nora: A Doll’s House, Float), and the production will be directed by award winner Martin Constantine (Paul Bunyan).

The UK tour kicks off at Salisbury Playhouse on 11 September 2026, and then plays London’s Richmond Theatre from 6 to 10 October 2026.

The show will also play Clwyd, Brighton, Manchester, Liverpool and Edinburgh.

“From film and television to the stage, my mother Shirley Jackson’s legacy continues to endure through her iconic novel The Haunting of Hill House. I’m thrilled that this haunting classic will return in a new form, and that Stef Smith’s adaptation will capture the novel’s remarkable and unsettling spirit for audiences in a whole new way.” – Laurence J. Hyman, son of Shirley Jackson

This gripping new production promises to blur the lines between heart-thumping suspense and the supernatural.

In the story, a group of daring investigators take on the mystery of Hill House. However, curiosity quickly descends into fear, and experiments plunge into darkness. As the house tightens its grip, it will leave you on the edge of your seat… and questioning what is real long after the curtain falls.

The new tour of The Haunting of Hill House is a Wiltshire Creative production in association with Theatr Clwyd, and produced by Mark Puddle, with Alexander “Sandy” Marshall and Patrick Myles.
