Susan Hills acclaimed ghost story comes dramatically alive in Stephen Mallatratts ingenious stage adaptationThe most brilliantly effective spine-chiller you will ever encounter (Daily Telegraph). Now celebrating three decades in the West End, Robin Herfords production is a gripping study in atmosphere, illusion, and controlled horror. A lawyer obsessed with a curse that he believes has been cast over him and his family by the specter of a woman in black engages a skeptical young actor to help him tell his terrifying story and hopefully exorcise the fear that grips his soul. As they reach further into his darkest memories, they find themselves snared in a world of eerie marshes and moaning winds. The Woman in Black remains one of British theatres biggest and scariest hits (The Guardian).

BWW Review: THE WOMAN IN BLACK at Shakespeare Theatre Company
December 08, 2019 Stephen Mallatratt's stage adaptation of Susan Hill's 1983 horror novel 'The Woman in Black' has become somewhat of a legendary production. Originally directed by Robin Hereford (who has directed every recast of the show including this one), it has become a famous staple of the London theatre scene earning its premiere in 1989 and has been running ever since. 'The Woman in Black' is the second longest running stage play in West End history second only to Agatha Christie's 'The Mousetrap'. The play famously involves two actors who perform the entirety of the play. The structure of the show centers around a 'play within a play' concept following two actors as they go through their rehearsal process.About the Theatre
