Britten
2, 9, 15, 19, 21 Oct 7.30pm
Britten’s edge-of-your-seat psychological thriller is based on a chilling Henry James ghost story, recently televised by the BBC. A governess fights to protect two children from malicious spirits, but are the spirits real or is the governess unstable? And what evil occurred before her arrival? Britten's hauntingly atmospheric music winds up the tension to breaking point, and this 1920s-set production will grip from first note to last.
Sung in English. Lasts approximately 2 hours 15 minutes.
