Shirley (15)

Shirley Jackson lives with her philandering and emotionally volatile husband Stanley in 1950s Vermont. Her creative flow is staunched by the unwelcome arrival of Stanley's teaching assistant Fred and his wife Rose. The newlyweds take up temporary residence in the Jackson home and are a source of irritation for Shirley. Once the men depart, Shirley becomes fascinated with newlywed Rose and they conspire to shatter traditional gender roles of the era.
