The Turn of the Screw / Murderers

October 1 – 19, 2025 (Two plays, alternating shows)

​

by Jeffrey Hatcher

(Turn of the Screw based on the novella by Henry James)

​

We open with a unique offering: two suspense-filled plays by Jeffrey Hatcher, a master of suspense and adaptation. The Turn of the Screw is based on the Henry James tale of a governess that is hired to look after two children of an absent father, only to learn that the first governess disappeared under unusual circumstances. In Murderers, we meet three people describe their misdeeds in detail to the audience – we know whodunnit, and we get to learn firsthand the why and how - often with humorous observation and irony.

We will be presenting these two plays with alternating performances, and Saturday matinees.
