Years later, he recounts his experiences, desperate to exorcise the ghosts of the past.
An eerie thriller, The Woman In Black is based on Susan Hills 1983 novel, adapted by Stephen Mallatratt but using much of Hills own description and dialogue. It features just two main cast members and minimal props to conjure its sense of rising fear and impending doom.
The stage adaptation of The Woman In Black was first presented at Scarboroughs Theatre-By-The-Sea in 1987, and proved such a success that it transferred to Londons Fortune Theatre two years later. It has been playing at the same venue ever since, making it one of Londons longest running plays.
In a case of life imitating art, The Woman In Black and the Fortune theatre are said to have their very own ghost. Following a break-in at the theatre a grey lady, thought to be a spirit protecting the venue, was seen in the lower boxes.
