The Turn of the Screw
About
When a young, impressionable Governess takes a job caring for two young children, all seems the picture of perfection at their countryside estate. But all is not well, and cracks in their behaviour begin to reveal an increasingly troubled past that refuses to be buried.'The Turn of the Screw' is a deeply psychological work. Henry James wrote the novel whilst his brother, revolutionary psychologist William James, developed theories linking supernatural visions with emotional trauma. The visions in this story are so much more than just ghosts; they are loud mental scars that a repressed Victorian society tries its hardest to ignore, with dire consequences.
Britten's score hauntingly captures the psychological fragility of the children, Flora and Miles. Their imagination should be boundless and bright, but what happens when this innocence is compromised? This production places the imaginations of the children at the heart of the story.
