Massive Owl present: Castle Rock

A distortion of the film, Stand By Me

As flashing neon lights descend upon the tracks, a boxing gloved boy with a death wish comes head to head with a white suited locomotive and a deer in black patent stilettos.

Castle Rock is a new story inspired by three of the voiceless characters in Stephen King's novella The Body, most famously adapted by Rob Reiner into the 1986 cult film, Stand By Me.

Expect looped voice, rhythmic physicality and projected words, as Massive Owl twist the film's soundtrack and contort the book's characters into a re-imagined story about friendship, loss and the things we fail to tell each other.

Welcome to Castle Rock!

Supported by Arts Council England, the Barbican Centre, Bristol Ferment, ICIA Bath, The Island, Arnolfini and our partners in Ireland: Project Arts Centre, Live Collision, Fringe Lab and the British Council (Ireland).

With special thanks to Jane Duffy.
