    Radio 4: John Wilson & Turn of the Screw

    An interesting listen: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m000q0yv

    The issues of reconfiguring a production of Britten’s Turn of the Screw (sunk by the March lockdown), under John Wilson’s musical direction.
    "...the isle is full of noises,
    Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
    Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

    I intended to listen to the programme again before I posted (distracted at various points......). Due to be performed at Wilton's Music Hall - sounds like a perfect venue for the creepy, ghostly plot. I presume the recorded version they have made will be streamed or rented/sold to a broadcaster? Their website is silent on the point - in fact donations still received to crowd fund the filming etc :


    Sounded good - I intend to keep tabs on it, however it becomes accessible.
