The Turn of the Screw at Arcola Theatre

Why see The Turn of the Screw?

Something Haunting This Way Comes...

The Turn of the Screw is reimagined for the stage in a brand-new adaptation by Olivier Award-winning playwright Morgan Lloyd Malcolm. Menace seems to haunt every corner of Bly House, the new home of a young governess charged with looking after the manor’s two orphaned children - wards of an unseen and uncaring guardian. As chilling tension grows, the governess must face up to the ominous spirits before she becomes one herself. Directed by Nicky Allpress, this world premiere production comes to Arcola Theatre in an evocative new staging.
