Press release:
Costa Mesa, CA—Stephen Mallattrat's acclaimed play, THE WOMAN IN BLACK, from the novel by Susan Hill, has been frightening audiences in London's West End for 20 years and is now coming to Orange County to haunt the Costa Mesa Playhouse on Halloween.
"One of the most brilliantly effective spine-chillers you will ever encounter." - The Daily Telegraph.Fog and creepy haunted houses, supernatural happenings, sea mists and dark stormy nights, lonely funerals and creaking attic doors, all combine in this gripping adaptation of Susan Hill's thrilling story to create a play that taps our primal fears. A grieving lawyer believes a curse has been cast over him and his family by the spectre of a woman in black. In an attempt to exorcise the spirit he engages a skeptical young actor to help him tell his story. His plan begins innocently enough, but as the border between reality and fantasy blur, the horror starts and the flesh begins to creep.Love Theater in Costa Mesa? Join The Community!
