Woman in Black Cheap Tickets
The ghost story to beat all ghost stories. This spooky gothic tale is designed to excite, thrill and truly frighten every audience member. The Woman in Black – based on from the 1983 gothic novella by Susan Hill and adapted for the stage by Stephen Mallatrat – has been terrifying over seven million people at the Fortune Theatre since 1989.
What's the show about?
The story goes that Mallatrat was reading the book while on holiday in Greece. Reclining on a beach in the middle of the day, he still found it utterly disturbing and creepy – that put the nail in the coffin and he started work on the stage version. The story has been translated to the screen twice, with a 1989 and then 2012 version, staring Daniel Radcliffe. Set on a bare stage, two actors recreate the bone-chilling story in the most theatrical and inventive way.
What's the story?
Quietly sitting in the middle of a huge salt marsh is Eel Marsh House. A junior solicitor, Arthur Kipps, is summoned to sort out the estate of Eel Marsh, unaware of the terrible history that lies within the mysterious house. As the tale unfolds, Kipps keeps seeing a black figure of a woman. No one believes him, but strange incidents start to occur whenever this woman in black is seen. Kipps resolves to get to the bottom of the mystery … but as the fog rolls in, will he dig too deep for his own good?
Like any good ghost story, it’s more what you don’t see than what you do. Ideas are planted in your mind and the tension is ramped up to nail-biting intensity.
Who is it for? Should I see it?
An evening of unremitting drama and ghostly goings on, it is not for the faint-hearted. Everyone enjoys a good scare and The Woman In Black will deliver just that. The ‘bumps ’n’ jumps’ are all manageable for younger audiences, but it is the creepy atmosphere and dark story that might induce nightmares in many. The official age recommendation is age eight plus, but it is really up to the discretion of the parent – some seven- or eight-year-olds love to be scared. Anyone who likes a good ghoulish yarn must see this show, as it will blow all others out of the water!
Please be advised that there is a large possibility of school groups being present at The Woman In Black, especially at mid-week performances.
