The Woman in Black is a nerve-shredding Gothic play, based on the novel by Susan Hill.

The story follows Arthur Kipps, a young lawyer tasked with sorting through the papers of a recently deceased client, Mrs. Alice Drablow, in a far-flung location in the north of England. At her funeral he encounters the woman in black, whose very mention spreads fear throughout the locals. Alone, he must go to the isolated Eel Marsh House to manage Mrs. Drablow’s estate. Terrorized by every new sighting of the frightful woman, he discovers more about her tragic past and the dire consequences she causes.
