The Woman In Black
Adapted by Stephen Mallatratt
From the novel by Susan Hill
A lawyer is obsessed with the belief that his family has been cursed by The Woman in Black, an eerie presence whose mere mention inspires fear among the locals. In an attempt to come to terms with this harrowing situation, he seeks out and employs an actor to help recount his experiences, but as the story unfolds, the boundaries between reality and memory begin, terrifyingly, to merge. Writing of the wildly successful London production of this remarkable thriller, the BBC described it as "frightening...packed with twists, turns, and unexpected surprises".
