Britten’s The Turn of the Screw draws you into the isolated Bly estate, where a young governess arrives to care for Miles and Flora. As strange events unfold, the children’s behavior grows increasingly unsettling, and the haunting presence of Peter Quint and Miss Jessel blurs the lines between reality and imagination, innocence and corruption.
