A young woman journeys to a remote English manor to take up her new position as governess to the family's two young children. But what happened to the previous governess? Layers of secrets are peeled away and tension mounts as the governess starts to question what – and who – is (or is not) real. Struggling to be the person she aspires to be, she strives to protect the children from the threats she perceives. Henry James' famous tale of suspense, horror, and repressed sexuality is brought to the stage in a gripping adaptation by one of Minnesota's finest playwrights.
