La Dama de Negro

About

Based on Susan Hill's horror novella of the same name, La Dama de Negro, or The Woman in Black, is a play that follows the story of Arthur Kipps, a lawyer who hires an actor to help him recount his chilling experiences with the woman in black. His tale begins when he travels to the small town of Crythin Gifford to attend a funeral, during which he sees an apparition of a pale-faced woman dressed in black. As he unravels the mystery surrounding her identity and presence in the village, he ultimately pays the price for meddling in her affairs. Adapted by Stephen Mallatratt in 1987, the play adds its own twisted ending that has been acclaimed for leaving audiences with a lingering sense of danger.
