Susan Hill's THE WOMAN IN BLACK announces Julian Forsyth and Matthew Spencer to join cast

New casting has been announced for Susan Hill’s The Woman in Black at The Fortune Theatre, London.

Julian Forsyth will return to the production to star as Arthur Kipps and Matthew Spencer reprises his role as The Actor from Tuesday 7 June.

Stephen Mallatratt’s adaptation of Susan Hill’s best-selling novel tells the story of a lawyer obsessed with a curse that he believes has been cast over his family by the spectre of a Woman in Black. He engages a young actor to help him tell his story and exorcise the fear that grips his soul. It begins innocently enough, but as they delve further into his darkest memories, they find themselves caught up in a world of eerie marshes and moaning winds. The borders between make-believe and reality begin to blur and the flesh begins creep.

The Woman in Black is directed by Robin Herford, with design by Michael Holt and lighting by Kevin Sleep.
