Elisabeth Moss and Michael Stuhlbarg play horror author Shirley Jackson and her professor husband in Josephine Decker’s biographical portrait. The place is Bennington, VT; the time is the early 1960s; and the subject, as so often happens, is infidelity. The spiders at the center of it all are a real-life couple, authors/educators/lushes Stanley Edgar Hyman and Shirley Jackson, the subjects of a 2014 novel by Susan Scarf Merrell now adapted by Sarah Gubbins, the creator of Amazon’s canceled series I Love Dick.
Elisabeth Moss and director Josephine Decker will be joining us for a Q&A following a special online screening of their new film Shirley on Saturday, June 6th at 4p PT/ 7p ET!
