The Turn of the Screw
- Artists
- Red Rope Theatre, Henry James, Arnos Vale Cemetery
Bristol’s Red Rope Theatre, who brought us a brilliant Dracula back in 2015, return with this new adaptation of Henry James’ 1898 gothic horror.
The setting for this chilling tale is the beautiful Arnos Vale Cemetery. The walls of the Chapel will be transformed into the eerie house of Bly.
There you will meet the Governess, a woman haunted by the mysterious past of her new home, yet enchanted by the children who live in it. She soon comes to realise she must protect the young from the dead; the tortured souls of Peter Quint and Miss Jessel, who are a terrifying presence at Bly and seek to possess the children they once knew.
Are the children somehow complicit? Do the ghosts exist at all…?
7.30pm, £11-£15. For more info, visit www.arnosvale.org.uk/events/turn-screw-red-rope-theatre-18th-29th-oct
