JW Theatres to present new stage production THE WICKED LADY at Birmingham’s Blue Orange Theatre

The ghost story experience of the year is coming to Birmingham’s Blue Orange Theatre from 1-16 October, with a brand new stage production - The Wicked Lady.

Combining contemporary thrills and ghost folk-lore, The Wicked Lady is a spine-chilling live theatre experience, based on real life historical characters.

Flickering from within the tree-line, a single lamp burns in one upstairs window of an otherwise long-abandoned house. The chilling disappearance of a young child is what leads to Alice Beaumont being thrown into this isolated place, shrouded in secrecy and troubled by rumours of a ghostly past. Does the house itself hold the secret or has Alice unlocked something even more unsettling?

The crying winds of this terrifying ghost story become even more haunting when Alice finds herself trapped in the undeniable feeling that although she is far away from anyone else, she is almost certainly never alone.

Inspired by the gripping mystery surrounding the 17th century, real-life highway woman Katherine Ferrers, her secrets and her untimely death, The Wicked Lady promises to leave audiences feeling both terrified and fascinated.

A fearless cast of two will plunge the audience into The Wicked Lady’s nightmarish world of darkness and mystery from the moment they enter The Blue Orange Theatre’s intimate auditorium.

The Wicked Lady forms part of a 10th Anniversary season of the 2011 opening of the 100-seat Jewellery Quarter venue – a milestone and celebration that is made all the more significant following the theatre’s temporary closure during the pandemic.
