The Woman In Black to tour the UK from September

It begins innocently enough, but as they delve further into his darkest memories the borders between make-believe and reality begin to blur and the flesh begins to creep.

Following a Christmas production in 1987 at a pub in Scarborough, The Woman In Black was brought to Hammersmith’s Lyric Theatre in January 1989. Reviews were sufficiently encouraging (apart from The Independent, who regretted the production’s inability to incorporate a live dog) to warrant a West End run. Its West End tour started at the Strand (now Novello) Theatre in March and moved to the Playhouse in April, finally lodging at the Fortune on 7 June 1989.

To maintain freshness in the production the show has had regular cast changes, with a new pair taking over every nine-months. A young Joseph Fiennes is listed as appearing in the show, as have Orlando Wells & Michael Mears (2010 cast); Antony Eden and Patrick Drury starred in the 9000th performance in 2011; David Acton and Ben Deery also appeared in 2011; Malcom James and Matt Conner (2016 cast); Stuart Fox and Joseph Chance joined the show from Nov 2016, with Fox reprising his role from 2-years prior; Terence Wilton and James Byng (2017); Richard Hope and Mark Hawkins starred in the 12000th performance in 2018.

Julian Forsyth & Matthew Spencer, who will see out the show in London’s West End played the 13000th performance on Saturday 13 August 2022.

It was announced in November 2022 that it would close after 33-years by Producer Peter Wilson who said “the economic reality of attracting so many young people has caught up with us in a world of rising prices.”
