The Woman in Black
Opens This Friday!
A play that has captivated audiences in London's
West End for more than 16 years is about to make
Orange County a little uneasy: The Woman in Black, a
chilling, classic ghost story, plays throughout the month
of October – just in time for Halloween.
"This is the most brilliantly effective spine chiller
you will ever encounter. If you haven't seen this
show yet, you are missing a treat."
- London Daily Telegraph
In the depths of an empty theatre, one man's desire to rid himself of a
terrifying curse leads him to reveal a horrific story. In an attempt
exorcise the spirit of the woman in black, he hires a young actor to
assist him in telling his tale. The plan begins innocently enough, but
as they descend deeper into the story, they find themselves caught in a
world of eerie marshes, mysterious manors, ancient graveyards and
howling winds. As the border between reality and fantasy blurs, the
terror starts … and the flesh begins to creep.
Not a traditional horror story, Stephen Mallatratt's adaptation of Susan
Hill's bestselling book has been linked to the darker works of Charles
Dickens, M.R. James, Henry James, and Edith Wharton. A combination of
mystery and horror, with a frightening final twist, it is not a book to
be read late at night, nor a play to see alone.
"Of all the horror stories that have appeared on
stage — or, for that matter, on film – none has kept
audience members on the edge of their seats quite
like The Woman In Black."
- Star-Telegram
The play, adapted by British actor/writer Stephen Mallatratt from the
1984 novel by Susan Hill, was first produced by a small theatre company
in Scarborough, where Mallatratt was in residence. The production
transferred to London's West End in 1989, and is still playing
there, more than sixteen years later – a witness to its spooky
appeal.
This intimate, two-man production is directed by Glendele Way-Agle and
features Ellis LaVere Davis (Careless Love) and Jason Lythgoe (The
Threepenny Opera, Thrill Me).
