Adapting Henry James

from The Conner & Smith Show · host Stephen Smith

In this episode, we put our own script for The Turn of the Screw to the test — running it through ChatGPT for a side-by-side analysis with Henry James’s original novella. What did we preserve from James’s haunting classic, and where did we take creative liberties? From framing devices to ghostly ambiguity, we explore the choices that make our adaptation uniquely theatrical while staying true to the spirit of the source. If you’ve ever wondered how a literary masterpiece evolves when it moves to the stage, this episode gives you both the blueprint and the behind-the-scenes perspective on our Creative Cauldron production.Support The Conner & Smith Show on Patreon here:https://www.patreon.com/ConnerandSmith?utm_campaign=creatorshare_fan
