The Turn of the Screw, 28th September to 1st October 2011
At a huge old house, in the middle of the countryside, a new governess arrives to take care of two orphaned children. The master, their uncle, does not want his life of pleasure in London to be disturbed in any way so he tells the governess to take full control of the household and to never contact him. Never. Whatever happens she must deal with it herself. At first the children seem to be angelic but the governess soon suspects that things are horribly wrong. The house is filled with whispering and dark secrets. The governess begins a battle to save the children from the evil forces at work in the house but who or what is she really fighting? ADC presents a visually spectacular production of this classic story. The Unicorn Theatre, in Abingdon's medieval abbey buildings, is the perfect setting for this wonderfully atmospheric and chilling show. Ghosts at the Unicorn? What do you believe?
