As the nights lengthen and the winds howl, many of us crave  spooky tales, such as Turn of the Screw. It's a potenttheatrical version of the old‐fashioned ghost story,with more complexity than most. Jeffrey Hatcher's adaptation of Henry James' famous novella builds creepiness and ambiguity as the plot unfolds. Is the play about two evil ghosts trying to possess a couple of innocent children or is it about a young woman losing her sanity ‐‐ or both?

There is none of the gore that modern horror stories dependon in lieu of depth. Instead, the tragic and terrifying heart of the secret unravels little by little, with unspeakable details left to our dangerously vivid imaginations.
