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

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.

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.

Ronson is the finest journalist working in the comic-serious mode – able to make you laugh and feel vaguely implicated at the same time.
