A SPINE-chilling masterpiece transformed into opera and performed at the prestigious Glyndebourne festival will be live-streamed to Hereford and Malvern.

Benjamin Britten’s The Turn of the Screw will be shown at The Courtyard and Malvern Theatres on Sunday at 6pm.

Britten’s brilliantly scored, insidiously compelling adaptation of the Henry James novella takes its themes of childish innocence and adult corruption, then twists and turns them to disturbing and ultimately devastating effect.

A revival of the 2006 Glyndebourne on Tour production, it stars Giselle Allen as Miss Jessel, Toby Spence as Peter Quint and Miah Persson as the Governess.
