About The Turn of the Screw - Dukes Theatre and Cinema
A world premiere 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 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.
