Blackeyed Theatre and Arcola Theatre present The Turn of the Screw A world premiere by Morgan Lloyd Malcolm Based on the seminal ghost story by Henry James Directed by Nicky Allpress England. A remote country house. A young governess, hired to care for two seemingly angelic children, begins what appears to be an idyllic new life.
