Confessions Donkeyskin I Didn't Know It Was Fancy Dress Turn Of The Screw, TheConfessions
Synopsis:
This gruesome verbatim piece unfolds with a series of lost souls recounting their greatest, and often fatal, mistakes.Magdalena practices kissing on the corpse of her best friend, Victor becomes the unlikely parent of an unwanted newborn, Thursday kidnaps and tortures a young boy. These are unforgiving and acutely crafted stories to make you squirm: Each tale is confessed in haunting detail as the characters search within their dark minds to battle with what they've done, with what's right and what's wrong.

Synopsis:
How can you protect those in your care, if you can't tell what is real? Award-winning writer Benjamin Hensons adaptation delves into Henry James' macabre classic with haunting live music and puppetry. Journey into the psyche of the governess, as she falls deeper and deeper into her belief that the children are possessed. Is she protecting the innocents from evil and corruption? Or is she manipulating them to act as puppets for her own inner demons?
