The Woman In Black
The Woman is back and will be haunting audiences at Blackpool Grand Theatre!
Susan Hill’s acclaimed ghost story The Woman In Black comes dramatically alive in Stephen Mallatratt’s ingenious stage adaptation which will be visiting Blackpool Grand Theatre this September as part of a UK wide tour having celebrated three decades in the West End.

Not for the faint hearted, this dark, gripping production, directed by Robin Herford, is a brilliantly successful study in atmosphere, illusion, and controlled horror that is certainly set to haunt its audiences. Those brave enough to watch will see Robert Goodale star as ‘Arthur Kipps’ and Antony Eden as ‘The Actor’. Arthur is a lawyer obsessed with a curse that he believes has been cast over him and his family by the spectre of a Woman in Black and he 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 then, as they reach further into his darkest memories, they find themselves caught up in a world of eerie marshes and moaning winds. “The most brilliantly effective spine-chiller you will ever encounter.” Daily Telegraph. “One of British theatre’s biggest – and scariest – hits.” The Guardian.
