THE WOMAN IN BLACK
Adapted by STEPHEN MALLATRATT
From the novel by SUSAN HILL
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, providing an evening of unremitting drama as the audience are transported 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 spectre of a ‘woman in black’, engages a sceptical young actor to help him tell his terrifying story and exorcise the fear that grips his soul. As they reach further into the lawyer’s darkest memories, they find themselves caught up in a world of eerie marshes and moaning winds. The borders between make believe and reality begin to blur and the flesh begins to creep...
Now in its 21st year in the West End, over 7 million people have lived to tell thetale of one of the most chilling and successful theatre events ever staged.
