More about Woman In Black

The Woman In Black is an acclaimed non-musical, second longest running play in the West End which is thoroughly capable of making you feel a chill down your spine. The play is based on the English author Susan Hill’s book of the same name which was published in 1983. The Woman In Black was premiered at London’s West End in 1989 and still giving goose-bumps to audience at the Fortune Theatre making it the second longest running non-musical show after The Mousetrap, in the history of the West End.

The Woman In Black is the story of Arthur Kipps, a junior solicitor who has been sent to attend the funeral of Mrs Alice Drablow, in a small market town of Crythin Gifford. He noticed a young mysterious woman dressed in black while attending the funeral in the churchyard. The Woman In Black gives him an inexplicable feeling of horror and uneasiness. The villagers’ bewilderment about the creepy woman in black makes Arthur visit Mrs Alice Drablow’s residence Eel Marsh House, an old building in the middle of a marsh. Arthur finds a box of letters while sorting out Mrs Drablow’s papers and eventually learns about the horrendous secret of the Woman in Black by experiencing many dreading events. In the play, an old Arthur takes help from a young actor to assist him in narrating the nerve wrecking incidents happened to him.

Susan Hill’s famous story of a ghost almost feels real in the brilliant stage adaptation by Stephen Mallatratt. Stepping into 30th successful year in the West End, Robin Herford’s intriguing production is absolutely a horrifying yet appalling experience.
