The Woman in Black Tickets

A visual feast

Ben London Box Office customer

Do not miss the woman in black

An upgraded seat was a real bonus yet the play stands highly for itself. I saw the movie but the play leads your imagination deeper into the story through the scenery on stage and most of thanks to the brilliant acting performances

Christophe London Box Office customer

Compelling Victorian ghost story

Cristopher London Box Office customer

Interesting

A Play Within a Play!

This is my new favorite play, hands down. The Woman in Black adapts the novel perfectly; the tale, now a screenplay, it acted out by the victim of the ghost and an enthusiastic theatre coach in a haunting performance that gradually consumes their reality. The old man, resigned to face his demons, takes on the supporting roles in a humorous, but emotional, way as he finds excitement in this play. Meanwhile, our acting coach takes on the identity of his student in his younger days, reliving the traumatic experience that scarred him for a lifetime. The acting was phenomenal, with both actors playing their 'real life' roles acting as the characters from the ghost story. I reccomend sitting clsoe to the stage to get a good look at their facial expressions, as there are several scenes that rely heavily on nonverbal dialogue. Also, if you are short, try the aisle....unless you scare easily; the Woman in Black, among others, takes to strolling the aisle throughout the performance, so you're in for a fright when she slips past. There are several loud noises, including a Nazgul worthy scream and the sound of a child drowning, not to mention nearly two hours of suspense and jump scares. prepare to be startled and disturbed, and you'll be in for a treat. Both actors create a compelling retelling of the story, and interact with the audience so thoroughly that you become a part of the cast... and by extension, another victim of the curse.

Creative

Janine London Box Office customer

Very good

I didn’t like the fog that was sent to the audience. It would have made the same effect if they had just kept it at the stage area.

Ana London Box Office customer

Great alternative to the standard West End show

Miles London Box Office customer

Great show with scary surprises

Patrick London Box Office customer

3rd time seeing this amazing play

Thoroughly enjoyed the difference Richard brought to the performance. Although each time I have seen the play I have enjoyed it immensely. But this last time has been particularly good.

Amanda London Box Office customer

Afternoon show

The start was a bit slow and not very exciting, if you stayed for the second half it was worth it.

Sarah London Box Office customer

Great fun and creepy!

This is an excellent show. A small theatre and a cast of just three but so well acted. Really enjoyed the evening.

Amit London Box Office customer

Engaging

From start to finish the actors pulled you into the story and I felt part of the story, with minimal props and imagination. Enjoyed by both me and my fiancé

Laura London Box Office customer

fab

Poper spooky!

Janet London Box Office customer

Boring

Disapointing. Very hard to hear older actor therefore hard to understand the story. Will stick to musicals

Pauline London Box Office customer

Great acting

Tessa London Box Office customer

I thought it was off story for a while it went on a bit at the start and I wondered if I was watching the women in black .the 2nd half was a little better but the 2 actors were very good

Kelly London Box Office customer

Spooky

This is a great play, with a fantastic story line, the actors were fabulous and beware there’s a few scenes where you will jump out of your seat 😳...would definitely recommend.

Philip London Box Office customer

Excellent acting

Arrived early to pick up tickets went very smoothly .The bar area was very small not many seats and could get very busy / crowded .When seated noticed you could order items which the staff brought to you in a paper handled bag good idea. Stage view was very good.There was not many props on stage but how the actors utilize them through the story was excellent.Sound effects were good which some made me jump.Very good story was told by the two actors. Show was two hours including a interval. Women in black was played well throughout. You have to use your imagination when the actors are telling the story.

Nicki London Box Office customer

Tremendous & Gripping

Paul London Box Office customer

very spooky

story was very well portrayed for a small stage. atmosphere was good. staff were polite and friendly.

Nicola London Box Office customer

Great acting

This show was very cleverly put together. With only two actors and a very occasional woman in black, it was fascinating how the story unfolded and the actors translated their emotions to the audience.

Tony London Box Office customer

Outstanding production - full of scares and surprises

Ben London Box Office customer

Very well done!!

We were right the the back of the dress theatre but could see very well. The show was very well put together. Prepare yourself to jump once or twice!!

Lindsay London Box Office customer

Excellent show - awful seats because of lack of legroom

Colin London Box Office customer

Entertaining, professional and spooky.

Derek London Box Office customer

Legendary act- must see!

This amazing act of Susan Hill’s breathtakingly creepy novel is perfectly performed by the three talented actors and not only displays the story almost perfectly but makes the eerie scene of Eel Marsh feel real, this is all around a must see show!

Niola London Box Office customer

Dramatic and Powerful.

I loved this show. A few jumpy scenes. The actors were brilliant, humorous and very powerful,

Nicola London Box Office customer

Fantastic performance

We all extremely enjoyed this show and are amazed that just two actors could portray the whole story so well. Recommend.

Andrew London Box Office customer

Edge of your seat …Let your imagination run wild

A blood chilling thriller that does the original book justice. A fabulous portrayal, acting and setting that draws you in and sends shivers across the Audience. A must see

Amanda London Box Office customer

Thrilling trip

From start to finish you’re on edge, The Woman in Black is an extremely fresh and exciting take on theatrical horror. For being a lover of scary movies and all things creepy, I never expected to get scarred from a play. How wrong I was. I felt like I was in a real life horror film and with out the luxury of pausing it when things get too scary, I was shook to the core. The ending not only leaves you uneasy and wanting more but also unbelievingly frightened. Word of advice for future people seeing this: get a night light!

Siomha London Box Office customer

Such a good show

ellen London Box Office customer

We loved it

Myself and my teenage son totally loved this show, just brilliant!

Caroline London Box Office customer

Jumpy

Grace London Box Office customer

Enjoyable show

We all enjoyed the show. Fabulous acting, really got into the story

Joan London Box Office customer

Very creative

The way they portrayed The Woman in Black, especially with her not being in the programme was excellent

Emily London Box Office customer

Cleverly done and still packs a punch!

Probably now a familiar story from the film for many, but still manages to surprise. Very cleverly acted and staged. Full theatre for matinee.

David London Box Office customer

Great production and acting

Phillippa London Box Office customer

A must watch

Let’s start by saying that my ticket was upgraded, and that made my day instantly. I had the chance to sit 3 rows away from the main stage. The venue was narrow yet cozy. Big applause to the actors who were able to create such a captivating atmosphere with the aid of a couple of lights and props. I still cannot believe how breathtaking their performance has been. At the end of the show I was tempted to walk back and buy another ticket. Not so bad for a Valentine’s Day solo theatrical date!

Federica London Box Office customer

Fantastic,

Fantastic setting and acting. Super jumpy, gives you goosebumps! Highly recommend seeing it for yourself!

Gemma London Box Office customer

Boring and very confusing

Reminded me of a school play. Confusing and very boring. Knew the story but still not worth staying for. Left half way through. Love using imagination so that was not the issue. Just a very boring way to present this story.

Lisa London Box Office customer

Riveting!

Loved thee show, really set the atmosphere with the story and lighting! Considering it was only two actors on stage for the whole performance, was real edge of your seat moments.

JACK London Box Office customer

Great for people who love theatre and thriller combined!

Impressed by the acting and the whole management especially since it’s not hard to do a thriller/horror show! Effects were good.

Umar London Box Office customer

A Fun Ghost Story

"Entertaining and 'Jumpy'" is the best description I can come up with to describe Woman in Black. When booking the tickets I was expecting more of a suspense thriller but was a little disappointed to discover it was more of a ghost story. It was, however, very well told with just two main characters and the occasional ghostly apparition doing exceptionally well to create the suspense and make the audience jump and laugh at the right places. It was also my first time in that theatre. Very cramped seating, not at all comfortable for anyone over 5'6".

Simon London Box Office customer

this show is a must see, amazing acting

Lee London Box Office customer

The actors, as expected, were phenomenal, creating moments of suspense and high tension alleviated with comedy. Unfortunately, many of those moments were ruined by the noise of the staff before the end of Act 1 and through the duration of Act 2 as they conversed. This adversely affected the professionalism of the performance and I felt we were watching a school production in which teachers were unsuccessful in attempts to keep children quiet in the wings. This was very disappointing.

Andrea London Box Office customer

Shannen London Box Office customer

Absolutely gripping!

A must watch! Money well spent!

Ben London Box Office customer

Excellent ghost story

Gabor London Box Office customer

Great Acting and Creativity

The acting was wonderful and so was the story. I really liked the way they focused it and switched things up a little. Definitely worth going!

2 actors on the stage ,it’s amazing how they learn the script,brilliantly well done

Brilliantly performed by the 2 actors,makes you believe you are there.

Joanne London Box Office customer

Id seen it before and i was still terrified

It is so difficult to pull of humour in a thrilling story and they did it so wonderfully. The acting is brilliant, our seats were wonderful.

Sahar London Box Office customer

Great acting

Lynn London Box Office customer

Excellent if you can put up with the audience!

Excellent acting and atmosphere created well. This was occasionally spoilt by the popcorn eating, over screaming, going to the toilet mid play audience.

Kate London Box Office customer

Thrilling!

Treated my mum to this and it did not disappoint! Great actors, and jumpy in parts!

Bethany London Box Office customer

I was disappointed. The book it is based on is full of atmosphere - a true gothic horror story. But I didn't feel that the show lived up to that. It felt like the storyline had needed to be padded out with all the extra bits about the older man wanting to perform his story but being being bad at acting etc. etc. which interrupted the suspense of the real story. This padding also gave reason for the other 'low budget' elements of the play - the fact that all the minor characters are played by the same person, and scenery and props are kept to a minimum. Though I don't think of myself as short on imagination, all these elements prevented me from really getting into the gothic element of the story, and the horror aspect instead relied on recorded screams and cheap gags to make you jump. This is nothing against the two actors who were excellent, but their performances notwithstanding, a disappointing production.

Eleanor London Box Office customer

Must see

It was different to what I normally see but in a good way. Even tho it was a two man show it was amazing. You get so drawn in and really get into the story and picturing it. It was brilliantly done and some jumpy parts that was so well done. The actors was unbelievable good. Well worth seeing.

Dawn London Box Office customer

Amazing play considering small cast

Gemma London Box Office customer

Excellent show. Actors were outstanding. Theatre is exquisite.

Briony London Box Office customer

A No Nonsense Quality Performance

Never underestimate the power, intelligence and imagination of an audiences mind. With 2 men and a simple story this play manages to effortlessly captivate the viewers with a production so skeletal it could give Jennet’s face a run for it’s money. Innovative, intelligent yet so incredibly simple, it leaves you thinking “is that all it takes to thrill an entire theatre?!” Yes it is. Keep up the good work.

Xavier London Box Office customer

boring

Luiz London Box Office customer

Great show

Never imagined it to be as good as it was. Great show really enjoyed it.

Jagjit London Box Office customer

Alistair London Box Office customer

Peter London Box Office customer

Dani London Box Office customer

Spine chillingly Superb

A fairly small theatre is the perfect venue for a perfect ghost story! Two wonderful actors performed magnificently and we couldn’t help but jump at certain times. Brilliant!

Alison London Box Office customer

Spooky

Isabella London Box Office customer

Great show very atmospheric

Richard London Box Office customer

Go see its amazing

A wonderfully acted drama just 2 guys And the woman hold the stage for 2 hours it's a must see play you shouldn't miss.

Tom London Box Office customer

Boring

The show started on time but it was so boring it put me and the person beside me to sleep. We left during the intermission. Hate I wasted our money.

Karen London Box Office customer

A thrilling take on a classic horror story.

Be prepared to scream!

Janella London Box Office customer

Only slept twice

I have no idea how this show has managed to go on for 30 years, I found it dull and boring, no real set to speak of, the whole show is in need of updating with effects and some. I feel I not only waste £70 on two tickets but also wasted 2 hours of my life.

scott London Box Office customer
