The Turn of the Screw

Cyprus : The Turn of the Screw

The theatrical group "Solo for Three" this winter presents the masterly work of Henry James "The Turn of the Screw" adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher, translated by Thomas Moschopoulos and directed by Maria Mannaridou - Karsera. With the actors Yolanda Christodoulou and Nikandros Savvides.

Based on the provocative tale of suspense, horror and repressed sexuality, this adaptation gives the famous story yet another turn of its own. A young governess journeys to a lonely English manor house to care for two recently orphaned children. But she is not their first governess. Her predecessor, Miss Jessel, drowned herself when she became pregnant by the sadistic valet, Peter Quint, who was himself found dead soon after under mysterious circumstances. Now the new governess has begun to see the specters of Quint and Jessel haunting the children, and she must find a way to stop the fiends before it is too late. But one frightening question tortures the would-be heroine: Are the ghosts real, or are they the product of her own fevered imagination?

The net proceeds from the performances will be given to the Department of Child Psychiatry of the Makarios Hospital in Nicosia.
