"4/5 stars...The brilliance of 'The Woman in Black' is its use of old-fashioned jump scares and an immersive soundscape to make audiences shriek and jump in their seats...The sound design by Sebastian Frost also deserves special mention for its ability to transport the audience to the different locations, while making them jump at the most unexpected moments — these are sound effects you truly feel in your bones."

"4.5/5 stars...Unfolds at a satisfying pace that moves from horror to humor and back again without losing tension. We are indeed in the storyteller’s thrall...Both actors ground their performances in truth, which gives free rein to our imagination...The only negative is that the chairs are not too comfortable. Then again, you’ll spend so much time on the edge of your seat you won’t even notice."

"The Comforts of the Cozy Scare in ‘The Woman in Black’: This ingenious, bare-bones adaptation of Susan Hill’s Gothic novel — a long-running hit in London — allows audiences to take charge of their fear."

3/5 Stars "There are moments of spellbinding stage magic...But...the play doesn’t cut deep. It winds you up—albeit much too slowly—until you're primed to scream-laugh your head off...Like the concoctions available at the bar, however, they’re enjoyable but ultimately pass right through you."
