The Hippopotamus stars three time Olivier Award winner Roger Allam (Endeavor, The Queen, V for Vendetta) as the disgruntled, cantankerous semi-famous poet Ted Wallace who is hired to investigate strange doings at Lord and Lady Logan's country manor, Swafford Hill. Golden Globe Winner Matthew Modine (Stranger Things, Dark Knight Rises, Full Metal Jacket) plays the stupendously rich and gregarious Lord Michael Logan. Fiona Shaw (5 Harry Potter movies) co-stars as the doting mother Lady Logan. Tim McInnerny (Notting Hill, Game of Thrones) plays the flamboyant and gullible theater director Oliver Mills. This is the first Stephen Fry novel to be adapted as a feature film.
