“Gripping, evocative revival of the famous ghost story.” – Daily Herald

Part ghost story and part psychological thriller, this classic tale concerns an unsuspecting governess hired by a wealthy recluse to look after his orphaned niece and nephew - two seemingly innocent children who soon reveal terrifying secrets. Henry James' spine-tingling novel brilliantly adapted for just two actors is ideally suited for the intimacy of the bookstore and guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat.
