The Terrifying Original. Live on Stage: The Woman In Black comes to Newcastle
Get ready to be enthralled, mystified, and utterly captivated as one of the world’s most spine-chilling stage productions makes its way to Newcastle. After more than three decades in the West End, The Woman in Black has arrived in Australia and is set to haunt the Civic Theatre this July.
In an ingenious stage adaptation of Susan Hill's acclaimed novel, The Woman in Black tells the story of 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. He engages a sceptical 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…
With two of Australia's finest actors, John Waters and Daniel MacPherson breathing life into this spine-tingling tale, it promises to be an evening of unparalleled suspense, mystery, and theatrical mastery.
“In the hands of John Waters as Arthur Kipps, the production truly shines. Waters' commanding presence and versatility captivate as he embodies the role of the seasoned Arthur Kipps and a myriad of other characters, delivering a tour de force performance. Daniel MacPherson's dynamic portrayal of The Actor and various roles injects the production with palpable energy, sustaining the tension throughout. Their commitment to the story is evident, culminating in a gripping performance that lingers long after the final bow.” - BroadwayWorld
