SYNOPSIS : THE WOMAN IN BLACK
Based on the novel by Susan Hill. Adapted for the stage by Stephen Mallatratt.

The lights dim. The shadows deepen. And a chilling story begins to unfold…

When solicitor Arthur Kipps is sent to a remote English village to settle the affairs of a deceased woman, he discovers an isolated house surrounded by eerie marshes, a community gripped by fear, and a mystery no one wants to discuss. But who—or what—is the mysterious Woman in Black? Years later, determined to confront the memories that haunt him, Kipps enlists a young actor to help him recreate his terrifying experience. As past and present begin to blur, the two find themselves drawn into a world where the line between imagination and reality grows disturbingly thin.

Stephen Mallatratt’s ingenious stage adaptation of Susan Hill’s acclaimed novel relies on atmospheric storytelling, haunting sound effects, and the power of suggestion to create a gripping theatrical experience.

Recently presented by Mirvish at Toronto’s CAA Theatre, the production earned praise from audiences and critics alike, with reactions ranging from “brilliant” to “masterful.” The Toronto Star described the experience as heart-pounding. Some stories linger long after the curtain falls. This is one of them.

“The Woman in Black” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. Poster by Marissa Barry.
