“The incredible Miles and Flora spectacular is about to begin. Do not leave the auditorium even if you are terrified. Or shocked. Some of the show is true and some is fiction.” Miss Jessel is dead. A new governess arrives at a remote estate in Bly to care for Miles and Flora. Wild but angelic they charm their guardian with flowers, poetry and song. But as she grows to love her two wards, figures appear in the darkness outside and the corners of the house are haunted by those that have gone before. The Governess must confront her fear and protect the children from the alarming dangers that surround them. Lindsay Posner, Noises Off (Old Vic and West End), Abigail’s Party (Wyndham’s Theatre), directs a gripping new adaptation of Henry James’ gothic novella by Rebecca Lenkiewicz, Her Naked Skin (National Theatre), The Painter (Arcola).
