The Woman in Black is a ghost story that tells of Arthur Kipps, a solicitor of London sent to the country to settle the affairs of the recently deceased shut-in, Alice Drablow. However, when he arrives in the village, he finds the townspeople less than eager to talk to him or have anything to do with the dreaded Eel Marsh House. As Arthur begins his work, he finds himself stalked by the ghostly vision of a woman dressed all in black. This frightening adaptation is the second longest running play on London’s West End, behind the Mousetrap. Using a minimal set and simple special effects with a wealth of theatrical ingenuity, The Woman in Black has proven to be that rare occurrence of a play that is truly terrifying.
