About Enter THE CASTLE with Jon Ronson – Mystery, Crime & Unmoored Men
After three decades investigating the strange edges of human behaviour – from public shamings, psychopaths, to modern moral panics – Jon Ronson’s latest true story turns unexpectedly close to home.
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.
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.
You’ll also get a first look at what’s coming in the next season of Things Fell Apart, and of course, the chance to put your questions directly to Jon. Funny, unsettling, and unforgettable.
