About The Woman in Black play in London's West End

The Woman in Black recently celebrated its 30th anniversary in the West End with a special gala performance. Stephen Mallatratt's play based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Susan Hill centres on a lawyer named Arthur Kipps who's obsessed with a curse he believes was cast over his family by an evil spirit known as the "Woman in Black."

He enlists the help of a young actor to help him tell his tale and exorcise the terror that keeps him up at night. The play is seemingly innocent at first, but as the pair dig deeper into Arthur's dark memories, they find themselves trapped in a world of creepy marshes and wailing winds. Soon the line between imagination and reality become blurred as the flesh begins to emerge.

The Woman in Black West End play is directed by Robin Herford and features design by Michael Holt and lighting by Kevin Sleep. It is currently booking until 26 September 2020 in an open-ended run.
