The Turn of the Screw, as adapted by La Monnaie / De Munt in 2021, dives deep into a chilling atmosphere. Set in an old English manor, it builds an unsettling tension that lingers through each act. The new governess's experience unfolds with a sense of dread, as the children's supposed innocence is constantly questioned. The ghostly apparitions add layers of complexity, making you second-guess reality itself. The practical effects here are quite striking, enhancing the eerie tone without overwhelming the story. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the unsettling themes of trust and perception to simmer. It's certainly a unique interpretation of Henry James's classic ghost story, with a palpable sense of psychological horror.
