West End Thriller Comes To Darlo
The
Woman In Black
Darlington Civic Theatre
19th
– 24th January 2015
Adapted by Stephen Mallatratt From the novel by Susan
Hill
Celebrating its 25th anniversary in the West End, the
unanimously acclaimed stage production of The Woman In Black returns on tour,
calling in at Darlington between the 19th and 24th January.
The Woman In Black was first performed at the
Theatre-By-The-Sea in Scarborough in 1987 to rave reviews. The production opened in the West End in 1989 where it has
enjoyed continued success as well as numerous national tours. The production’s
huge popularity has reached a global level, having toured to the United States,
South America,
Tokyo and Singapore. Now celebrating its 25th year in the West End, over 7 million people
have lived to tell the tale of one of the most terrifying and successful
theatre events ever staged. In 2012, Susan Hill’s novel The Woman in Black was
released as a major motion picture, starring Daniel Radcliffe (best known for
his role as ‘Harry Potter’), which successfully became the highest grossing
British horror film in 20 years.

Stephen Mallatratt’s adaptation of Susan Hill’s
best-selling novel 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
reach 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.
