2/12, Wednesday, 7:30pm. Book-it Theater presents The Turn of the Screw of Henry James. I don't understand the story, nor why it's ever staged, let alone many times, in various forms. What's the point? What was James wanted to say? A governess was sent to a countryside estate to care for two children, one of them was expelled from his boarding school. She encountered 2 ghosts: the previous governess and another employee of the mansion (yes, both dead). The play ends with the girl took ill and was sent back to London, and the boy died in the Miss' arms.
This production is played entirely by a female cast (of 5). Good acting. Stage set is just a couple of pieces of furniture and a big doll house. It would be nice to add some projection, shouldn't be too hard?
