About The Woman in Black

Woman In Black tells the ghostly story of widowed solicitor Arthur Kipps. Arthur has allowed his grief for his wife to jeopardise his career, and therefore the financial wellbeing of his family. Given one last chance by his firm, Arthur sets out on a seemingly routine assignment, to the remote village of Crythin Gifford to sort out the affairs of a recently deceased, eccentric client. However, he is soon plagued by the spectral figure of the mysterious Woman in Black, as strange goings-on befall the villagers, and Arthur’s investigations into his client’s affairs reveal a tragic past and a deadly secret. This supernatural thriller doesn’t rely on Grand Guignol blood and guts to shock audiences, instead introducing a creeping sense of dread through a series of unsettling events, both on and off-stage, as the audience is gradually immersed in the play’s ghostly world.
