Taking
Thomas Hardy's short
story as its starting
point, we are transported
to the present for a
contemporary take on the
novella which explores
the power the mind can
have over that person's
actions. A closed door
sparks an obsession so
strong that the
boundaries between
reality and fantasy begin
to blur.Ella and her
high-finance husband
Stephen rent a room in a
holiday home on the
coast, owned by Susan.
Ella discovers that a
locked room in the house
is rented by a poet - Ben
Pascoe - whose work holds
a deep fascination for
her. The room is held for
Pascoe, though he visits
rarely.Ella's obsession
with Pascoe grows in
parallel with the
progress of Stephen's
biggest City deal. She
begins by imagining the
poet's voice as she reads
his work, but this
quickly grows to
fantasised encounters
with Pascoe in his locked
room. Stephen returns
from the City and makes
love to Ella, but it is
not him she wishes for.
We see the real Pascoe
only once, with Susan.As
Stephen's financial
dreams are realised and
Ella's fantasy consumes
her, she learns of
Pascoe's death. Despite
her changed
circumstances, Ella
chooses to stay in her
new world.
