It has been announced that Susan Hill’s The Woman in Black will embark on a UK tour, opening at the Wolverhampton Grand Theatre on 6 September, following the production’s final performance in the West End at The Fortune Theatre tomorrow (4 March).

Following Wolverhampton, the tour will visit Cardiff, Billingham, Buxton, Aylesbury, Southend, Richmond, Poole, Nottingham, Liverpool, Norwich, Truro, York, Birmingham, Bradford, Brighton, Ipswich, Glasgow, Milton Keynes, Dartford, High Wycombe and Crewe. Further tour dates and casting to be announced.

Over 33-years, The Woman in Black has played over 13,000 performances in the West End and been seen by over 7-million people in the UK. In June 2019, the production celebrated its 30th Anniversary in London’s West End with a special gala performance.

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 the borders between make-believe and reality begin to blur and the flesh begins to creep. 

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