Directed by Festival favourite Rebecca Meltzer with the acclaimed Bertie Baigent as Musical Director. Dive into the haunting tale of Benjamin Britten's opera, The Turn of the Screw, a gripping story of mystery and suspense in the perfect space for Britten's masterpiece: our intimate and unique amphitheatre stage.

Set in Bly House, a young governess is sent to care for two orphaned children, Flora and Miles. At first, innocent and beguiling, their behaviour becomes unpredictable and erratic and the governess is soon plagued by strange apparitions. As she seeks to uncover the sinister secrets of the remote country estate, she battles to protect the children from the malevolent forces that threaten to ensnare them. 

Spine-tingling music brings this suspenseful thriller to life, and will keep audiences on the edge of their seats.​
