Quint And Miss Jessel At Bly
by Don Nigro


Highlights
Synopsis
Drama Characters: 2 male, 1 female Unit Set Peter Quint is sent by his lifelong employer, the Master of Bly, to be the servant in charge of a remote English country house where Miss Jessel has just arrived to be governess to the orphaned children of the master's brother.
The ultimately deadly love triangle that results forms a darkly funny and erotic Gothic love story.
These are the lovers who haunt Henry James's The Turn of the Screw.
Quint is brilliant, sardonic and angry, a man of great abilities trapped by birth into a subservient role he hates.
Miss Jessel is beautiful, headstrong, troubled, and deeply infatuated with the master.
As Quint and Miss Jessel's affair develops, the rivalry between servant and master builds to a frightening and haunting climax.
