The Turn Of The Screw, Almeida Theatre, 18 Jan – 16 Mar (pictured)
Experienced in the art of text-to-stage adaptation, playwright Rebecca Lenkiewicz scripts a taut new twist on Henry James’ gothic novella, one involving an inevitably macabre collaboration with Hammer Theatre Of Horror. Event details and tickets here.
