The Turn of The Screw
Wonderful production with really cool set design that aided the creepy atmosphere. (A wing back chair seated in the centre of leafless trees. It allowed a sense of being both inside and outside at the same time, suffocated by the forest.) Lighting effects played a very important part in achieving the sinister look.
I appreciated the fact that they didn’t explain everything, the loose ends allowed the viewer to answer some of the questions raised for themselves.
Adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher from Henry James’ novella, this production, by the Acting Company, was played as a two hander, Aysan Celik as the Governess and all other parts Glenn Peters. Interestingly the girl character was left as an imagined presence, which added to the strangness and complemented the fact that she never spoke.
