First look rehearsal images are released for Turning the Screw at the King’s Head Theatre, which tells the story of the famed composer Benjamin Britten, set during the pink panic in the 1950s as he grapples with his homosexuality whilst composing The Turn of the Screw.

This stellar cast will be led by Gary Tushaw (Allegro, Southwark Playhouse; The Rocky Horror Picture Show, International Tour) in the role of Benjamin Britten, alongside Liam Watson (Penned Up, Seven Dials Playhouse; Peter Pan, Loughborough Town Hall) as David Hemmings and Simon Willmont (Mamma Mia!, Novello Theatre and International Tour; Blood Brothers, Phoenix Theatre) as Peter Pears.

Joining them on stage will also be Jo Wickham (Steel Magnolias, The Hope Theatre) as Imogen Holst, Jonathan Clarkson (The Pitchfork, Yvonne Arnaud; The Second Maiden’s Tragedy, Hackney Empire) as Basil Coleman, and Sam McHale (The Secret Garden; Theatre at the Tabard, Annie Get Your Gun; The London Palladium) as Harry Morris.

Turning the Screw is at King’s Head Theatre Wednesday 14th February – Sunday 10th March 2024
