Reviews

The Woman In Black was first performed at the Theatre-By-The-Sea in Scarborough back in 1987. The original production received rave reviews, paving the way for future productions throughout the country. It reached the West End in 1989 where it has been a major audience puller ever since. Its success has subsequently reached a global level, having spread to the US, South America and through to the Tokyo theatre scene, and beyond.

Unanimously acclaimed by the critics and now in its 23rd year in the West End, The Woman In Black combines the power and intensity of live theatre with the cinematic quality of film noir.

testimonials

“I thought the play was fantastic. I really enjoyed it. I must have jumped out of my skin about ten times!!!!! I had goosebumps at several points throughout. For some reason I don’t seem to get un-nerved easily but I went home afterwards and I’ll admit I checked the cupboard under the stairs (just in case!). I do drama – so I like to go and see as many plays as I can, and this has got to be one of the best (seriously!!). I look forward to reading the book.” Gemma Miles – June 2001
