The Woman in Black Tickets

So good, amazing actors.

Second time seeing this wonderful play and production. From set, lights, sound effects, props and actors were top drawer. This suspenseful ghost story will make you want to see this play again and again.

Very good show however surrounded by schoolchildren who kept talking. Fortunately the theatre staff were able to move us at the interval. Some of the children were removed from the theatre.

The acting was fantastic and the story telling was superb. We live in a generation of high tech and special effects and I like the fact you had to use your imagination to create the scenes in your mind as the sets where very basic. In that respects, it is pretty much like reading the book, your mind fills in the gaps , so when you go along dont expect anything like the film. I had read lots of reviews of people being so scared that they had to walk out, so I was expecting alot.I did jump and scream along with the school children a few times (do expect lots of screaming teenagers if you go)...but I do think that it could of been scarier. Maybe the woman in black sitting next to an audience member of something? It did have its moments...but by far the acting held the atmosphere together.

Exceptional acting from just 2 actors is a must see

Loved the production. The actors were great & really drew us into their performance.

The acting was good, but I’m incredibly disappointed in what I paid for. The story line was below average, and I just don’t understand all the reviews saying it was scary, terrifying, gripping, intense, etc. There wasn’t much to it at all. An hour was spent focusing on the fact that the man wanted to tell his story of events that happened. If I’d never been to the theatre before this would’ve put me off going again. Not to mention that the seats were so uncomfortable and you have more leg room on a plane. Also £5 for a small tub of pic n mix and £3.50 for a bottle of coke.. wow.

Could have been better. The second round was better.

Felt a little let down by this show. The theme was weak and the entertainment value was low. Not one of the best in my opinion.

I enjoyed it and was invested in the story and plot the only thing that was shockingly cheap and unrightfully taking from the performance was the stage and the art direction .. just cheap

The actors did their best to keep the evening from sinking without trace, unfortunately the first ten minutes were inaudible. The pace of light changes were sometimes interminable and lost any tension the actors may have managed to produce, and the final straw was when the secret door was flung open it revealed for pretty much everyone on the left of the auditorium, the lighting strip and the brick wall behind.

First time watching the show and it was unforgettable. Boyfriends favourite show but never seen in this theatre. He didn't stop smiling

When it started I wasn’t sure how it would play out but I really enjoyed it. A play within a play! Fantastic!

This was the first professional play I’ve ever seen and I was in awe! The story was told so well, both actors were phenomenal, and I was satisfyingly spooked!!

It's a ghost story but not as good as the last time we saw it as the acting let it down. Rather disappointing.

Extremely boring show, 2 actors, minimal props would not recommend

The two actors try their best, and all credit to them, but the directing is amateurish and the production is cheapskate - as if it's been hurriedly cobbled together for tourists. Once this play was a West End classic. Now it cheats people who pay for their tickets in good faith.

So good, second time seeing this on stage and never fails to amaze me! Acting is amazing, lighting really creates the atmosphere, always so good!

Brilliant portrayal and adaptation of the book. It's a small theatre which adds to the ambience. My 13 year old daughter was clinging to my arm throughout the second act and absolutely loved it. I wouldn't take younger children, as it is dark and makes everyone jump on several occasions.

Slow to get going, but great acting. Simply put together and scary at times

Hard to follow, not in the least bit frightening. Cure for insomnia!

Well acted and a great play...Worth seeing. My daughter is reading the book at school and thoroughly enjoyed it. Very well acted with only 2 actors throughout.

Sadly I was massively disappointed with my visit to the fortune theatre and the show woman in black 3 actors with little more than 5 props and a fog machine - I felt the price I paid for the ticket was a huge rip off for what I was given ! Shame really it could be a good show if done right ! Sadly this isn't - the theatre itself is in very poor condition and you don't feel like you've been somewhere special - more like a amatuer dramatic performance ! Would not recommend to anyone

Very good show The woman in Black (Perhaps could have had more actors)

It was abit slow in the first half but the second half more than made up for it. We loved the ending

Epic

Not a show for a fun factor, but very good if you like ghosts. The story was followed very well.

I’m not a regular theatre goer but this was very impressive and superb acting, fantastic!

The introductory scene was quite longwinded. Mundane due to repetitiveness. The second part was satisfactory overall. Personally, I wouldn't recommend to others who are seeking for a thrilling experience.

A few shocking moments, but overall not scary as such. A brilliantly acted and intense performance which requires some concentration to work out who is who and who is playing which part at any given time. Only two actors (plus a non-speaking 'lady in black') playing various parts. Brilliant.

Great show. Actors bring you in and keep you with them all the way through. The theatre is small and that adds to the atmosphere and keeps you feeling part of the performance throughout.

I went with my girlfriend the theatre was smaller than I thought. However that was great, it made the experience all the better we were had a great view of the play. I was not expecting a two man show which was brilliant I’ve never seen that before, both of the actors put on a fantastic performance and they really drag you into the play. I cannot fault it and would recommend this to anyone.

Perhaps less terrifying than it is very funny! Loved both the actors, they did so great. I love how much of the play was just pure imagination. The dog! The carriages! This was a fantastic experience. Loads of kids in the audience today, they got a lot of little thrills, sort of fun to hear their reactions.

Brilliant adaptation of the book , sound lighting and special effects were brilliant. My teenage kids loved the show especially as the scary bits caught them by surprise every time.

Even though we’d seen the play previously, we still got taken by surprise at “those” moments! Our guests loved it too

Very enjoyable and entertaining play. Well acted and kept my attention throughout. Word of warning: the ladies’ toilets are few in number and absolutely tiny.

Mesmerising performances 🎭 absolutely loved the show from start to finish. My heart is still racing 😱 great theatre and brilliant staff. Thank you 🙏

Not for those of a nervous disposition! Starts quietly comic, but tension builds as the story unfolds to a dramatic end...

Booked for our anniversary. Having never been to see a play other than Shakespeare when I was at school I wasn’t sure if I’d enjoy it, but it was great, the two actors did a superb job and even though it’s a small theatre with only two actors and a relatively minimal set, they really managed to create an atmosphere. Thoroughly enjoyed myself and it’s convinced me I should return to London to try other plays.

Show was great. I phoned the London box office to upgrade our seats but was told they weren’t exchangeable which I found very frustrating and very unusual given we wanted to give more money

I have seen the woman in black before with a different climax. That was scarier but this performance was great too. 30 years and counting. Best of luck!

A brilliant show. Well acted, superbly executed and an absolute must see for anyone that enjoys a great story!

Much to the amusement of my daughter and mother, I found this experience to be genuinely unnerving. Wishing I had taken a comfort blanket with me!!!!

Having seen the film I booked this for my wife’s Birthday knowing she loved the film version. Absolutely brilliant, the acting was first class and the time flew past as we, like the rest of the audience were totally engaged with the performance. Brilliant acting, well delivered and we would definitely recommend this to anyone.

Great show, wonderful acting and definitely made e everyone turn their back regularly...only people that have seen it will know what this means. Highly recommended@

Absolute amazing performance by two brilliant actors

Great show and great acting. Disappointed with the audience - full classes of school children laughing throughout what should be a scary performance. Constructive feedback; too much time spent on the intro.

Really clever and well put together. Actors were great, really enjoyed it.

We really enjoyed “The Woman in Black”. The acting was top notch and the storyline really captivated us. The spooky moments added to the overall experience.

The first act was boring, no microphone so you can't hear properly. Only to actors that change characters.. hard to follow especially if you are not an English native speaker. The only action in the play was the scary parts and even then I felt that all the screaming were exaggerated! All my family fell asleep.. Waste of time and money as a tourist

Wonderful play and story for any and all, especially those who like the occasional scare, hairs on your arm standing and chilling sensation down your spine.

In the true style if a thriller, this clever production manages to capture your imagination with minimal cast, staging and effects. Slow to setup, the second act literally had audience gasping and shrieking. Enjoy!

We had seen the show on tour in our local theatre and thought it was brilliant. The acting was outstanding, allowing you to us your imagination. The actors brought the story to life, with humour and emotion. I cannot praise the actors enough they were brilliant. The staging was so atmospheric which added to the tension and suspense. The theatre is small and felt you had your own private showing. I recommend highly.

Thoroughly enjoyed the show. I had heard that this play was very scary, my daughter clung to my arm like a limpet throughout but I didn’t find it scary other than it made you jump a few times. Great acting and very clever in the way it was presented ie one actor playing several roles although I did get confused a couple of times as to whether we were in the past or the present day. Wouldn’t recommend for anybody under about 15.

Although this is a spooky story, it has funny moments. The story is very well told and performed.

Not sure what to expect at first, but was honestly one of the best shows we've been to. Credit to the two actors for showing what could be done with a few props and dramatic lighting. Really well told story. 10/10 well done. (Btw there was no music, hence the score)

The show was amazing very well acted and a great atmospheric show
