The Turn of The Screw

Choose Dates & Book

Written by Morgan Lloyd Malcolm

Directed by Nicky Allpress

Reading Rep Theatre in association with Blackeyed Theatre and The Arcola.

Based on the seminal ghost story by Henry James

 

England. A remote country house. A young governess, hired to care for two children, begins what appears to be an idyllic new life – but something about the children 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 (Emilia; The Wasp), combining powerful performances, illusion and stylish theatricality.
