The Woman In Black
10 February to 14 February
About The Woman In Black
The legendary production of Susan Hill’s chilling ghost story The Woman In Black returns to Oxford.
One of the most successful and longest-running theatre shows in the history of London’s West End, this gripping production is a brilliantly successful study in atmosphere, illusion, and controlled horror. Now seen by over 7 million people worldwide, The Woman In Black continues to delight and terrify audiences of all generations.
Obsessed with a curse that he believes has been cast over him and his family by the spectre of a Woman in Black, Arthur Kipps engages a sceptical young actor to help him tell his terrifying story and exorcise the fear that grips his soul.
