Woman in Black adapted by Stephen Mallatratt from the novel by Susan Hill, has been running at the Fortune Theatre since February 1989 and one can see why as it is a thrilling ghost story that has you jumping out of your seat with fright.

It is a clever tale that is full of surprises and suspense. The story concerns a young solicitor who is sent to wind up the affairs of a recently deceased woman. However, the dead woman had led a reclusive life in a remote and mysterious house. He discovers he has to wind up her affairs without any help from the locals who will not approach the house because they believe the house is cursed! Years later, and this is where the play actually begins, he recounts his ghostly experiences with the aid of an actor/director, who helps him prepare to tell his story in front of his family and friends in a desperate bid to exorcise the ghosts of the past.

It is extraordinary that with the most basic props, minimal set, a few sound effects along with the atmosphere of the drama and your own imagination this play can scare you stiff! Although, I will say I find the theatre -which is not very big- is in itself hauntingly eerie! Even going to the Upper Circle toilets is a creepy experience, particularly if you are by yourself.

This has to be one of the most phenomenal theatrical performances in the UK at this moment, and is definitely one of the most chilling. The proximity and tangibility of the stage and cast meant that this realism ensured the production was far more frightening than any horror film.
Packed with twists, turns and unexpected surprises, this production leaves the audience with goosebumps and even, in some cases, shaking with fear.

Hanging on the fantastic performances of the two-man cast, this is an incredibly well produced and effectively spooky play.
 
A brilliant thriller that is a must see!
