Description 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––defending her sanity, while holding the audience in her candlelit spell. Are the ghosts real? Is the governess mad? The fabric of reality is contested and “truth” becomes one option among many in this unsettling tale. With a singular focus on storytelling and stagecraft, Weems and her company give this gothic ghost story a contemporary psychological edge.
