The Turn of the Screw Announced!

Morgan Lloyd Malcolm’s new stage adaptation of Henry James’ ghost story novella, The Turn of the Screw, will have its world premiere at the Arcola Theatre on 11 September in a co-production with Blackeyed Theatre. The show, directed by Nicky Allpress, will run until 10 October 2026.

England. A remote country house. A young governess, hired to care for two children, begins what appears to be an idyllic new life – but something about the children hints at a darker presence.

Desperate to protect them from what she believes to be malevolent spirits, she finds herself descending into a world of ambiguity, leading to one far-reaching question: are the ghosts real… or are they a projection of something far more terrifying?
