A battle of the sexes, a battle for arms and a battle for a national faith.
THE CASTLE takes place in a rainy, murky medieval England. The crusaders, under the leadership of knight Stucley, have just returned from the Crusades. Expecting to be welcomed back by their faithful wives they are shocked to discover that in their absence their women have transformed the county into a vast lesbian commune, and the few remaining men have been used as sperm banks throughout the seven-year-long absence. Witchcraft has replaced technology; common ownership has replaced private property; religion is a relic with all christian symbols in heavily decay. The response of the soldiery is to reassert their authority by building an enormous, phallic castle. With each blow struck against them in this new sex war, the men order the castle to be built bigger, stronger and its defences more ingenious.
