A new interpretation of Henry James' 1898 novella, Strange Window: The Turn of the Screw creates a theatrical experience that mirrors the seductive ambiguity of the original chilling tale. On stage, a governess tells her story, deploying the actors and media wizardry of The Builders Association to create the world of her memory while holding the audience in her spell. Turn of the Screw's perplexing questions about the sanity of the governess and the existence of ghosts persist. The fabric of reality is contested and "truth" becomes one option among many in this unsettling story.
