A youthful new governess arrives to take charge of two children in a remote country house, only to learn that the last governess and her paramour both died under suspicious circumstances. When strange occurrences befall the children, she must discover whether it’s the ghosts, a terrible joke, or her own mind that have put them all in danger. There’s a chill in the air and a tingle up your spine when the magic of theatre and the thrill of your own imagination combine in a perfectly eerie story told by two talented actors: GET favorite Christina Leidel (Vanity Fair, Night Must Fall) and, in a long-awaited return to the stage, Daniel Thomas May (The Walking Dead). 90 minutes with no intermission.
