The Woman in Black – a ghost story

 Written by Susan Hill & successfully adapted for the stage by Stephen Malatratt.

This is a quietly shudder-someghost story capable of chilling the flesh of the most hardened horror fanatic. Arthur Kipps, a middle-aged solicitor, hires a theatre and the services of a professional actor to help him re-enact and hopefully exorcise a ghostly event that befell him many years earlier with horrifyingly tragic results.

The Woman in Black is an immaculate example of a Gothic horror that slowly builds to its climax. It has all the ingredients: A house on isolated marshland, a spectre seeking vengeance for the death of her young child and things that go bump in the night.

Don't come alone…
