Turn of the Screw

Description

This world premiere musical by the talented creative team of Stephen Gregory Smith and Matt Conner is adapted from the classic novella by Henry James.  In a forlorn country estate, a sensitive young governess quickly learns that there are dark secrets surrounding the two young orphans that have been placed in her care.  A foreboding sense of evil begins to envelop her, and she is soon convinced that the children are being influenced by sinister forces present at Bly. But is she imagining this? Are the apparitions that she sees real? In this fresh new take on one of literature's most gripping ghost stories, Smith and Conner take us on a thrilling psychological journey turning the screw tighter with every twist of the story. This is the first installment in Creative Cauldron’s five-year “Bold New Works for Intimate Stages” commissioning project.
