The Woman in Black

Susan Hill’s elegantly eerie ghost story has been seen by more than seven million people in the stage adaptation by Stephen Mallatratt, and very few will have been disappointed (or unshaken). A lawyer obsessed with a curse that he believes has been cast over him and his family engages a sceptical young actor to help him tell his terrifying story and exorcise the fear that grips his soul. It all begins innocently enough, but as they reach further into his darkest memories, the borders between make-believe and reality begin to blur as the Woman in Black reveals her terrible purpose …

The Daily Telegraph called it “the most brilliantly effective spine-chiller you will ever encounter”; the Guardian went with “one of British theatre’s biggest – and scariest – hits”. This award-winning production sold out its previous runs in the UAE; directed by John Payton who also boasts the credit for Music and Sound Design, it is produced by Lucy Magee of West End Worldwide, the company behind more than 50 of the UAE’s most successful touring productions.

There are further performances on 31 October and 1 and 2 November.
