A haunting ghost story with a psychological twist, our edge-of-your-seat production of The Turn of the Screw opens in Leeds on Saturday 15 February. Directed by Alessandro Talevi with set and costumes by Madeleine Boyd and lighting by Matthew Haskins, it will be conducted by Leo McFall with a cast including Sarah Tynan as the Governess, Nicholas Watts as Prologue/Peter Quint, Eleanor Dennis as Miss Jessel, Heather Shipp as Mrs Grose, Jennifer Clark as Flora and Tim Gasiorek as Miles.
Britten’s chilling opera combines menacing spirits, a troubled Governess and the children she has vowed to protect, to nail-biting effect. But are the phantoms real, or is it all in the Governess’ fevered imagination? Test your nerves and watch our trailer for a terrifying taste of our production. For full fright effect, turn the sound up loud!
