Seymour and Secret House present

A Month in the Country

8 - 31 Jul 2027

One summer. One country estate. Too many secrets.

It’s summer. The days are long, the drinks are flowing, and life at a country estate appears perfectly comfortable. But beneath the polite conversations and lazy afternoons, boredom is brewing and everyone is hiding something.

Then a charismatic young tutor arrives.

His presence ignites a chain reaction of desire, jealousy and obsession. A married woman becomes captivated by someone she can’t have. A devoted friend watches the person he loves slip further from his reach. A young woman discovers the intoxicating thrill of first love. And across the estate, everyone seems to be falling for the wrong person. As flirtations become entanglements and secrets begin to surface, the boundaries between love, friendship and betrayal begin to blur.

What happens when the person who makes you feel most alive is the one person you can’t have?

Things are about to get complicated.
