The Woman in Black

West End Theatre Sensation Comes to NZ

London's West End Sensation, The Woman in Black is acclaimed as one of the most exciting, gripping and successful theatre events ever staged. More than three million people in London's West End have seen The Woman in Black - now in a stunning new production, it's New Zealand's turn.

The Woman in Black, starring two of London's finest leading men, Robin Herford and Mark Healy, comes to New Zealand stages in June and July.

The Woman in Black has been playing in the West End for 20 years. It is the world's second longest running play.

Unanimously acclaimed by the critics, Stephen Mallatratt's adaptation of Susan Hill's best selling novel combines the power and intensity of live theatre with a cinematic quality inspired by the world of film noir.

"I have never witnessed an audience jump and gasp in such genuine shock as they do here." DAILY TELEGRAPH (LONDON)

The Woman in Black is a ghost story - the story of Mrs Alice Drablow and a young solicitor sent to settle her deceased estate. His task is a lonely one and he has a terrible and growing sense of unease. And then he glimpses a young woman with a wasted face, all dressed in black. The locals cannot or will not give him answers.

So he waits until he sees her again, and she slowly reveals her identity to him - and her terrible purpose. Relying on atmosphere, on hints, glimpses and suggestions, on what is shadowy, heard and sometimes only half-seen, The Woman in Black chills the audience as it builds to its horrifying climax.
