The Woman in Black Tickets

On the edge of my seat the whole time !

It was amazing and the acting omg ! I was on the edge of my seat the whole show!! Some good jumps ! Would 100% recommend!

Amy London Box Office customer

Who thought a play could be scary

Simply fantastic show, never though a play could make an audience jump and scream, 10/10

Robert London Box Office customer

Spooky

Michal London Box Office customer

Gripping and entertaining

I was a real theatre sceptic..... until I saw this! A fantastic take on the story. The atmosphere created by the 'two' actors was finominal. Best Ng such close proximity to the stage really helped. The lighting effect added to the tension the actors created. Be prepared to jump out your seat from time to time!

ross London Box Office customer

A good night out

Tickets pricey- even though lots of empty seats

Pauline London Box Office customer

Engaging throughout

Good show, really enjoyed it. Visitors should know it's a small theatre which is great for seeing detailed expressions. Would definitely recommend it.

Hema London Box Office customer

If you want a change from feel good musicals, and enjoy a bit of tension, edge of your seat stuff and being being frightened out of your wits, then this is just what you're looking for. The acting is brilliant!

Jane London Box Office customer

A Must see Ghost Story

The story is so differently put from the film. The acting was first class and funny at stages. It had me on edge of my seat. Brilliant. Thank you

James London Box Office customer

darren London Box Office customer

michael London Box Office customer

A must see!

Good story, great acting. Would go again.

Elinor London Box Office customer

Terrifying, but soooo good!

I loved how intense and dramatic it was. The two actors were amazing at making it seem real. The lighting and sound effects (what I rated as music) also added to the atmosphere perfectly. It was amazing.

Pamela London Box Office customer

Terrifyingly brilliant

Second time seeing the show, this time with my partner and it was his first time at a theatre ever and he loved it! Such an amazing experience!

Jordon London Box Office customer

Small theatre and toilets tiny but forget all that as the acting and affects are amazing! Great alternative if a musical not for you.

Kirsten London Box Office customer

Excellent show!

Emma London Box Office customer

Clever, compelling and really good fun.

An excellent Way to present the story. Two actors really held the audiences attention, they were amazing! There were a couple of really spooky moments where everybody jumped and then laughed at themselves and a nice little twist at the end.

Amanda London Box Office customer

Garbage

Bruce London Box Office customer

Brilliantly performed , edgy but needed to be more scary :-)

Sarah London Box Office customer

Very good

Very dark and eerie . Thrilling and imaginative really enjoyed it .

Athena London Box Office customer

Enjoyable

Very engaging for a show with only 2 cast members (3 including the woman in black). This was my first show and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Amy London Box Office customer

Thought provoking

Jacqueline London Box Office customer

Clever Story Telling

Great production making you use your imagination as every great ghost story should. Very cleverly done!

peter London Box Office customer

Wasn't my cuppa of tea

Natalie London Box Office customer

Very exciting and brilliantly acted

Be prepared to jump in shock

David London Box Office customer

Shit

Never again. Wouldn't even recommend this show to my worst enemy

Avinash London Box Office customer

She's certainly freightening

The story withheld importance for me throughout, and the set was enticing with surprises throughout. The lighting had an immense effect on us as an audience, evoking tension and provoking unintentional fear within myself as I would be looking out at the shadows and around the set for the woman in black to show an appearance a lot of the time. Well worth the money.

Matthew London Box Office customer

Creative take on gothic horror

Both my wife and I read Susan Hill's book in the 80s and enjoyed it. I guess careers and families had got in the way of us coming to see the show until now. The Fortune Theatre is a tiny, shabby-chic gem of a venue, with limited facilities made up for by the attentive staff. The play itself is a delightful, imaginative and streamlined way of telling the story with great impact, helped along with the energy and panache of The Actor neatly offsetting the stumbling diffidence of Arthur Cripps. I love that we need to use our imaginations and love the shocks along the way. Well done on keeping it fresh for so many decades.

Graham London Box Office customer

Lots of fun, with talented cast

Wouldn't consider the show as 'terrifying' as I had heard from other reviews, but still lots of jumpy parts and a great, eerie atmosphere. Great storyline and also funny in some parts. Very talented actors, I would definitely recommend this show to others!

Louise London Box Office customer

Good, but not great!

Me and my partner were very excited to see the show as we had read lots of reviews. We appreciate the art of theatre acting and the effort that has gone into the show however we were left a little underwhelmed. We think it would be very appreciated by hardcore theatre goers, but for the general public not so much. The actors were good, amusing and clearly passionate but there were few frightening parts and the first half dragged a little. We were expecting a more gripping story, more jumpy moments, more tension and a little more production value whereas we experienced a show that needed the viewer to imagine almost everything. Appreciated the show for what it was, but wouldn't go again.

Thomas London Box Office customer

phenominal

Really cool production, so engaging, and exciting. Loved it.

mark London Box Office customer

Brilliant

This was a truly great evening would recommend

Amanda London Box Office customer

Spine-chilling! We loved it.

If like me (the first time I saw the show) you thought you couldn't feel scared sitting in a theatre then think again. The story is excellent and the staging, lighting and acting all create a truly chilling atmosphere. I don't remember them switching back to the original characters so often the first time I saw it - but still absolutely loved it. Nerves were jangly all way home. An excellent show and actors were all fantastic.

Adam London Box Office customer

Excitement amazing astronomical AAA

Lesley London Box Office customer

Brilliant ! Loved it

Brilliant! Fantastic acting . My husband and I really enjoyed this show and would definitely go and see it again . We had seats in the stalls K14-K15 would've been great views unfortunately I had a very tall man sitting directly in front of me which spoiled it for me.

Kevin London Box Office customer

Andrew London Box Office customer

EXCELLENT PLAY

Good acting, good story, well performed, excellent adaptation of the book. Saw this play some years ago, as good as I remembered it! Would certainly recommend seeing it, as I have done to others in the past, all of whom stated that they enjoyed it.

Patrick London Box Office customer

fine performance by two actors and a ghost

ilya London Box Office customer

Edge of your seat

Took my daughter who is studying the book at school. I hadn't read it and knew nothing about the story except that it was scary! Thought the acting was great. I was gripped all the way through. Such great staging and use of simple light and sound effects to keep us on the edge of our seats. Highly recommended.

Carolyn London Box Office customer

Be prepared

Good story two very committed actors great dialogue

Lesley London Box Office customer

Funnier than expected, jumpy, rather than scary

Glad to have seen it. Loved the performances, i would say it's funny-first, scary second. But even then, less scary, rather jumpy. Solidly enjoyable.

Lance London Box Office customer

Brilliant

Thoroughly entertaining. Great acting.

Lisa London Box Office customer

Good Story

Bit slow to start but very good acting overcame that and all in all a great show to see

Howard London Box Office customer

Excellent

Great show, great acting. Staff excellent and lovely theatre.

Andrew London Box Office customer

Suspenseful

Tamara London Box Office customer

An enduring play of special qualities and atmosphere

We saw the play yesterday having seen it before at the Fortune Theatre in 1990 with Michael Siberry and Jon Strickland playing the parts. The script is brilliant in the way it draws you into the story and enables you to use your imagination to be in the various scenes and places with great atmosphere. The acting by Stuart Fox & Joseph Chance, as before all those years ago, was quite superb and the scariness just as real.

Paul London Box Office customer

Excellent well acted play with some good scares

Mark London Box Office customer

Suspenseful

Joanne London Box Office customer

Very uncomfortable seats. Could not relax and enjoy the performance as the lack of leg room and discomfort was distracting!

Chloe London Box Office customer

Surprisingly scary

Starts slowly but don't let that put you off. Lots of genuinely scary moments. Fantastic performances from the two leads

ROBERT London Box Office customer

A must see

The show was very good and made a few ppl scream. Would have enjoyed the show much more if the legroom with our seats we better knees hitting against the ledge the whole time and we fidgeted the whole time though out show which was such a shame after spending hard earned money on what we thought would be good sits with good view.

Adrian London Box Office customer

very atmospheric

Janet London Box Office customer

Interesting!

I didn't like the scare aspect of it (I knew it was going to be scary but even for me it was a little too much). But the acting was incredible and it was really clever how they told an entire story with just two people.

Abigail London Box Office customer

A must see

Bettysue London Box Office customer

Some of the best acting I have ever seen!

Not only did the show stay true to the horror story and ominous atmosphere, the show was carried some of the most magnificent actors on stage I have ever seen! It was amazing. They seamlessly transitioned between each of their numerous characters and time periods and immersed you into their terrifying experiences. This made the unexpected jumps and scary moments that much more impactful. Thank you for the wonderful show, I could not have asked for a better performance!

Lareina London Box Office customer

Be ready !

Samantha London Box Office customer

Slow

sabrina London Box Office customer
