So what exactly are the so-called Disappointments Rooms? Why is the yet- undeveloped film of Wentworth's new script named that way?
Read below some information we have gathered around the Net about the Disappointments Rooms.
In the past such rooms were built to house
members of the family who were considered "embarrassments" due to some
"socially unacceptable" illness (such as mental retardation). They would
be shut in the room from as young as possible, and live a secluded and
unacknowledged existence.
Shutaway children used to be shut into
out-of-the-way existing, normal spaces - attics, basements, closets - or
into easily-constructed spaces normally reserved for pets, such as
kennels. They were kept during the 1800-1900s to remain out of the public eye.
According to some previous news the story of Wentworth's script follows a family that moves into a mysterious old house in the country that has a dark past.
