The Turn of the ScrewBased upon Henry James' ghost tale. A young governess is despatched to the country to take charge of two small children by their distant uncle. Her charges appear to be the very picture of "deep sweet serenity" but there are sinister forces at work and her idyll is soon to be destroyed by terror.
Music Benjamin Britten
Lyrics Myfanwy Piper
