Turning the Screw at The Kings Head Theatre

It's 1954 and Benjamin Britten is working on a new opera about purity and innocence. He's in an illegal gay relationship with Peter Pears and they can’t draw attention to themselves.

The star of the opera, a roguish choirboy, is coming to stay with them and the people around Britten are concerned - but who’s going to say “No!” to him… Someone’s going to get hurt.

This is a new play about love, music and power.
