turn of the screw

[st_emma]

A night before Halloween. A lovely, minimalist set evoking high towers, gothic arches, looming forest and a spider's web, with an antique chair at its heart. Two actors, male and female: she plays the governess, he plays everyone else. A ghost story where one of the characters, the mute Flora, is invisible, essentially a ghost to the audience. A ghost story where the ghosts have caused tangible damage for the living. A locket. A bible. A riddle. A spectre of mental illness that casts its shadow over Bly, the children, the former servants, and the current governess. An ambiguous ending. An unsettling evening.
