ONE of the most chilling productions of all time, The Woman in Black, will return to the Wyvern Theatre this month.

First performed at the Theatre-By-The-Sea in Scarborough in 1987 to rave reviews, the blood-curdling play is now celebrating 25 years in the West End.

Stephen Mallatratt’s adaptation of Susan Hill’s 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 hires a young actor to help him tell his story and exorcise the fear that grips his soul. As they reach further into his darkest memories, they find themselves caught up in a world of eerie marshes and moaning winds. The boundary between make-believe and reality begins to blur and the flesh begins to creep.

Starring Malcolm James, as Arthur Kipps, and Matt Connor as The Actor, The Woman in Black runs from Monday, November 24 to Saturday 29. Tickets cost between £18 and £26.
