Portland 2014 Halloween Theater: The Reformers Present The Turn

A remote estate. A new caretaker. A classic ghost story re-imagined.

The Reformers are thrilled to announce their upcoming fall production The Turn, their thrilling adaptation of Henry James’ classic ghost story Turn of the Screw.

The Turn is the tale of a woman hired to look after an orphan girl residing with a housekeeper in a lonely mansion. Two ghosts appear, and a struggle for the very lives of the children she is entrusted to protect, begins. Playing upon the similarities of the stories, the company will blend the play with elements of Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining.

Similar to last year’s successful thriller The Revenants, the play will take place in a home. The Reformers gave their audiences a terrifying good time last year and look forward to doing it again.
