One of the most exciting, gripping and successful theatre events ever staged, The Woman In Black, is now in its nineteenth year in the West End. Unanimously acclaimed by the critics, Stephen Mallatratt's adaptation of Susan Hill's best selling novel combines the power and intensity of live theatre with a cinematic quality inspired by the world of film noir.

  QUICK POLL
Neil Diamond recently refunded money to fans that saw him in concert on a night he was too sick to sing well. Would you feel entitled to a refund if you saw a Broadway star perform on a night he/she was obviously sick or vocally tired?
Yes, I’d rather see an understudy or be offered a refund or exchange than to see a star too ill to perform well.
No, that’s what happens in live theatre. Just bear with it and admire the star’s work ethic.
