Project Synopsis
The Woman in Black is a full-length dramatic thriller adapted for the stage by Stephen Mallatratt, from the best-selling novella by Susan Hill. A lawyer engages a skeptical young actor to help him tell his terrifying story and exorcise the fear that grips his soul. As the two men reach further into the lawyer’s darkest memories, the borders between make believe and reality begin to blur and the flesh begins to creep.
