The Woman in Black.

Direct from London, Singapore Repertory Theatre is proud to present one of the most exciting, gripping and successful theatre events ever staged, The Woman in Black. Over two million people have lived to tell the tale of this spine-chilling play, now entering its fifteenth year on the London West End.

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

Unanimously acclaimed by the critics, Stephen Mallatratt's adaptation of Susan Hill's best selling novel, combines the power and intensity of live theatre with a cinematic quality inspired by the world of film noir. It is a formula that provides audiences with an evening of unremitting drama as they are transported into a terrifying and ghostly world.
