This summer The Woman in Black is celebrating its 22nd birthday in the West End. Since 1989, over 7 million people have lived to tell the tale of one of the most exciting, spooky, gripping and successful theatre events ever staged.

Unanimously acclaimed by the critics, Stephen Mallatratt's adaptation of Susan Hill's best selling novel combines the power and intensity of live theatre with a cinematic quality inspired by the world of film noir. It is a formula that provides audiences with an evening of unremitting drama as they are transported into a terrifying and ghostly world. Now in its 20th year, over 4 million people have lived to tell the tale of one of the most exciting, gripping and successful theatre events ever staged.

Please be advised that there is a large possibility of school groups being present at The Woman In Black, especially for Monday to Thursday performances.

What our staff thinks: Some people are much easier to scare than others and I don't think of myself as a person to be easily frightened - but there were some moments when I jumped in my seat - I only jumped but some girls were screaming out loudly in fright - followed by a giggle!
