Woman In Black, The
"No wonder Valentine's Day is The Woman in Black's best night; it would make you
embrace a complete stranger. No wonder, too, that it has run so long: it is
theatre at its most primitive, a ghost story told very simply that frightens the
living daylights out of you...You know something dreadful is going to happen,
and are on the edge of your seat before it does. As the play progesses, the
tension tightens so that the pauses become more terrible than anything you
actually see" - Daily Telegraph

Celebrating 20 terrifying years in the West End
This summer THE WOMAN IN BLACK is celebrating its 20th birthday in the West End. Since 1989, over 7 million people have lived to tell the tale of one of the most exciting, spooky, gripping and successful theatre events ever staged.
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. It is a formula that provides audiences with an evening of unremitting drama as they are transported into a terrifying and ghostly world.
Please note: There may be a number of school groups in the theatre particularly during weekday performances.
