Editor’s Pick: The Turn of the Screw
As the first installment in its five-year Bold New Works for Intimate Stages Initiative, Virginia’s Creative Cauldron commissioned The Turn of the Screw, a musical by the Signature Theatre-affiliated team (and real-life gay couple) writer Stephen Gregory Smith and musician Matt Conner (Nevermore, Crossing). Smith and Conner adapted Henry James’s classic novella, a ghost story about a governess who learns dark secrets about the two young orphans in her care. Opening night is tomorrow, Saturday, Feb. 7, at 8 p.m., and Pride Night is Sunday, Feb. 8, at 7 p.m. Runs through Feb. 22. Creative Cauldron, 410 South Maple Ave. Falls Church. Tickets are $25, or $20 for Pride night with code PRIDE. Call 703-436-9948 or visit creativecauldron.org.
