The Turn Of The Screw

A Victorian psychological and supernatural thriller set in a country house.

Based on a novella by Henry James it is the story of Miss Grey, a young governess who is employed by the charming Mr Crimond to act as governess to his niece and nephew, Miles and Flora.

It is clear from the outset that there is a sinister presence in the house which threatens the children – or do they encourage it? The housekeeper Mrs Grose is certainly frightened about something.

The scandal of the previous governess Miss Jessel and her lover, the valet Peter Quint, ended in their deaths but did they ever really leave the house? A battle ensues between Miss Grey and these malevolent spirits for nothing less than the children themselves.
