Description

What does Henry James sound like when set to music? In this episode, Matt shares tracks from our new musical inspired by The Turn of the Screw and walks us through how he found the melodies, moods, and motifs that bring James’s words to life. We explore the sparks of inspiration behind the score, the challenges of capturing James’s haunting ambiguity in song, and how music transforms the ghostly atmosphere of the novella for the stage.
