The Turn of the Screw

Blackeyed Theatre and Arcola Theatre present

The Turn of the Screw

A world premier by Morgan Lloyd Malcolm

-

Based on the seminal ghost story 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, she finds herself descending into a world of ambiguity, leading to one far-reaching question; are the ghosts real... or 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 this brand-new stage adaptation by Olivier Award-winning playwright Morgan Lloyd Malcolm, combining powerful performances, illusion and stylish theatricality.

One of the most innovative, audacious companies working in contemporary English theatre
