THE WOMAN IN BLACK to Play Lyceum Theatre, 21-25 October

Celebrating its 25th anniversary in the West End, the unanimously acclaimed stage production of The Woman In Black returns to the Lyceum Theatre, Sheffield to scare audiences once again ahead of Halloween from Tuesday 21 - Saturday 25 October, as part of a major new UK tour.

Based on the best-selling novel by Susan Hill, The Woman in Black transports audiences into a terrifying and ghostly world. A lawyer obsessed with a curse, that he believes has been cast over him and his family by the spectra of a 'Woman in Black', engages a young actor to help him tell his story and exorcise the fear that grips his soul. It begins innocently enough, but as they reach further into his darkest memories, they find themselves caught up in a world of eerie marshes and moaning winds. The boarders between make believe and reality begin to blur and the flesh begins to creep.

First performed at the Theatre-By-The-Sea in Scarborough in 1987 to rave reviews, over 7 million people have lived to tell the tale of one of the most chilling and successful theatre events ever staged. In 2012, it was released as a major motion picture, starring Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), which became the highest grossing British horror film in 20 years.

The Woman in Black is on stage at the Lyceum Theatre from Tuesday 21 - Saturday 25 October. Tickets are priced from £14.00 - £26.00 (concessions available) and can be purchased by calling the Box Office on 0114 249 6000 or by visiting sheffieldtheatres.co.uk (a transaction fee of £1.50 (£1.00 online) applies to all bookings made at the Box Office, excluding cash.)
