THE TURN OF THE SCREW by Jeffrey Hatcher is based on Henry James’ 1898 Gothic novella of the same name. The story concerns a young Governess who ventures to an English country estate to care for Miles and Flora, orphans living in the care of their wealthy uncle. Upon her arrival, the Governess learns about the sudden deaths of the children's previous caretakers whose presence now haunts the home and seduces all who remain. It is her gravest charge, the Governess decides, to rid the lingering ghosts from the hallways of the home and the minds of its inhabitants. Christina LaFortune plays the Governess while Vince Gatton inhabits all other characters.

This production is proudly presented at the Merchant's House Museum. 50% of the ticket revenue goes directly to the Merchant's House Museum.
