Blackeyed Theatre and Arcola Theatre present
The Turn of the Screw
Adapted from the novella by Henry James
Directed by Nicky Allpress
England. A remote country house. A young governess, hired to care for two seemingly angelic children, begins what appears to be an idyllic new life. Yet there is something about the children that hints at a darker presence.
Desperate to protect them from what she believes to be malevolent spirits, while the line between reality and imagination blurs, she finds herself descending into a world of ambiguity, leading to one far-reaching question; are the ghosts real... or are they a projection of something far more terrifying?
A masterwork of psychological suspense and the inspiration for Susan Hill‘s The Woman in Black, The Turn of the Screw is brought to life in true Blackeyed style, combining powerful performances and stylish theatricality, where audiences become juries in deciding what’s truth and what isn’t!
