Unique Tale Very Well Performed,
By Richard London (Thriller Fan) (Bangkok, Thailand) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Turn of the Screw: Classics Read by Celebrities Series (Audio CD)
Henry James' 'Turn of the Screw' is a famously ambiguous tale. Are the ghosts in it real, or are they only figments of the imagination of the rather neurotic Governess? Despite all the hints that the woman is projecting her own fears and distorted, repressed sexuality, there are other powerful clues that she has in fact seen real ghosts, genuine other-worldly revenants. The story is given a very effective, listenable-to rendition by Stephanie Beecham, whose rather grand, 'posh' but smokey voice fits very well the character of a middle-aged Governess who is looking back on a baffling and scary episode of her early life. I recommend this set of CDs unreservedly, especially as we have the complete, unabridged novella here. Excellent.
