Killing Curiosity
Staging Britten's brilliantly dark piece
by Joel Ivany
It is a curious story.
Benjamin Britten’s chamber opera, The Turn of the Screw, opened in 1954 at Teatro La Fenice in Venice.
Against the Grain Theatre will be producing the eerie tale from May 24-27 at the Helen Gardiner Phelan Playhouse, on U of T campus.
It’s quite an exciting theatrical piece to be preparing. Described primarily as a ghost story, it can also be interpreted, though rarely is, as a love story.
