The Woman In Black

The Woman In Black at the Fortune Theatre is a gripping theatrical exploration of terror that’s been thrilling audiences of all ages with its unique blend of suspense, drama and bold stagecraft. 

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 engages a sceptical young actor to help him tell his terrifying story and exorcise the fear that grips his soul. It all begins innocently enough, but then, as they reach further into his darkest memories, they find themselves caught up in a world of eerie marshes and moaning winds.
