THE WOMAN IN BLACK SET TO TERRIFY ONCE AGAIN

The Woman in Black

Newcastle Theatre Royal

Monday 24^th – Saturday 29^th April 2017

The world’s most terrifying live theatre experience is returning to Newcastle Theatre Royal next month – The Woman in Black is back during April, so prepare for a springtime spine tingling…

Stephen Mallatratt’s adaptation of Susan Hill’s best-selling novel is a stage thriller full of illusion and controlled horror which has terrified over 7 million theatregoers since it first opened.  Widely regarded as the world’s most frightening live theatre experience, it has become a global phenomenon translated into at least 12 languages and performed in at least 42 countries.

This will be the show’s sixth visit to Newcastle Theatre Royal following overwhelming popular demand.  It is also the first visit since Hill’s The Woman in Black was released as a major motion picture starring Daniel Radcliffe in 2012, Britain’s highest grossing horror film in 20 years.

The show tells the story of 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’. He engages a young actor to help him tell his story and exorcise the fear that grips his soul. It begins innocently enough, but as they delve further into his darkest memories, they find themselves caught up in a world of eerie marshes and moaning winds. The borders between make believe and reality begin to blur and the flesh begins to creep.

David Acton will play the role of Mr Kipps and The Actor will be played Matthew Spencer. 

The production is directed by Robin Herford, with designs by Michael Holt, lighting by Kevin Sleep and sound by Gareth Owen.   The UK tour runs concurrently with the West End production and marks 27 of the show in the West End.
