Turning the Screw ~ Wimbledon, London


  • New Wimbledon Theatre 93 The Broadway London, England, SW19 1NL United Kingdom (map)

"Opera isn't just fat sweaty sopranos singing about being cold and hungry before dying in an attic in Paris!"

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 so they mustn't draw attention to themselves.

The star of the opera, a roguish 12-year-old choirboy, is coming to stay with them and he has other things on his mind. Someone's going to get hurt and someone might end up in jail.

This play runs from 20-29 October.
