Henry James’ frightening masterpiece comes alive on the stage. A young woman takes a job as governess for two weirdly beautiful, strangely distant, oddly silent children at a forlorn estate haunted by a beckoning evil. Half-seen figures day by day, night by night, come closer, ever closer. With growing horror, the helpless governess realizes the fiendish creatures want the children, seeking to corrupt their bodies, possess their minds, own their souls.
