The Long House
a screenplay by Alan Black
The Long House plays with ideas of modernity and anxiety.
Set in 1905, during a time of great change and innovation in American life,
a man and his new bride move to the country in an attempt to distance themselves
from development and the increasingly harried pace of life.
But in the silence you can more easily hear the rubbing of old and modern,
a grinding that puts one’s teeth on edge.
In the world, the old superstitions are merging with new scientific phantoms.
And within the individual, doubt and paranoia are growing.
