The Woman In Black theatre show
For a more relaxed affair this Halloween, why not get spooked from the comfort of a theatre seat?
The Woman in Black returns to the West End and tells the story of a lawyer, who believes a curse has been cast over him by the ghost of woman in black. Susan Hill’s story first appeared on stage in 1987 and returns now to the Fortune Theatre, near Covent Garden, London.
The play itself is spooky enough, but the atmosphere of the theatre only adds to the experience. It is one of the smallest in the West End and is a Grade II listed building. The theatre is intimate, offering only 432 seats – perfect for being scared out of your wits!
