Enter The Castle with Jon Ronson: Mystery, Crime & Unmoored Men
After three decades investigating the strange edges of human behaviour – from public shamings and psychopaths, to modern moral panics – Jon Ronson’s latest true story turns unexpectedly close to home.
When his son is lured to a mysterious castle deep in the forests of New England, Jon finds himself on a darkly comic, perilous quest to uncover what was really happening inside its walls. The Castle, Jon’s first book in 11 years, is his most personal, revealing and gripping journey yet – a twisting tale of unmoored men, lost purpose and the absurd, frightening ways it can all go wrong. Does a world of disinhibition, where seemingly anything goes, lie ahead of us?
In this brand-new live show, Jon brings the book’s extraordinary stories to life on stage with astonishing footage and online clips, including jaw-dropping material that has long since vanished from the internet. You’ll also get a first look at what’s coming in the next season of Things Fell Apart, and of course the chance to put your questions directly to Jon. Funny, unsettling, and unforgettable.
