The Turn of the Screw

The Lion & Unicorn Theatre, Assembly Edinburgh, Theatre in the Fields Festival | 2015-2018

A young governess is sent to a remote estate in Bly to take sole charge of orphans, Flora and Miles. Seduced by their angelic beauty, she quickly falls in love. But the house hides a dark secret and corrupting evil lurks in the shadows.

The governess suspects it is the malevolent ghosts of her predecessors who threaten her small charges. But is the menacing force supernatural? Or something even more sinister?
