About Dreamhouse

This is a black comedy of manners about a marriage in its death-throes.  Rennie does not belong in a heterosexual marriage, although he is not prepared to realise it, and when Louise accepts this truth, it frees her to find out where she might belong.

Dreamhouse is about being in a place where you don't belong - in a foreign country where you don't speak the language, in a relationship that is only pretending to work, in an idea of yourself that will not fit until you have the courage to find out who you are.

Dreamhouse was filmed in 1994 under the title Traps, starring Saskia Reeves, Robert Reynolds and Jacqueline McKenzie.
