Originally published in 1963, this story tells of a low ranking civil servant who builds a cell under his house to imprison a young female arts student.

A tense psychological exploration of what happens when a reclusive butterfly collector has the opportunity to turn his fantasies into reality, John Fowles's Novel was made into a film starring Terence Stamp in 1963.

This adaptation, by Mark Healy, premiered at the 2007 Edinburgh Fringe to critical acclaim.
