Turn of the Screw

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 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, Henry James' classic novella The Turn of the Screw is brought to life in this new adaptation by Olivier Award-winning playwright Morgan Lloyd Malcolm (Emilia; The Wasp).This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere Arcola Theatre and Blackeyed Theatre co-production in September 2026.
