Based on the novel by Rebecca NetleyAdapted by Duncan Abel and Rachel Wagstaff
When Elspeth arrives on a remote Scottish island to become a nanny to a young girl, she hopes to bond with her… until she learns that, for reasons no one will explain, Mary has not spoken for months. And the child’s silence is not the only mystery. Hypnotic lullabies drift down empty corridors. Strange dolls appear in abandoned rooms. As the nights draw in, darker questions arise: what happened to Mary’s late twin, William? Why did their previous nanny disappear so suddenly? And is the whistling Elspeth hears at night just the storm outside? Or is somebody coming for her? Prepare to be thrilled and chilled in this theatrical adaptation of the hit Rebecca Netley novel that’s part murder mystery and part ghost story.
