See it if Old fashioned 2 person show. Some fun startles. Only matinee on a Tuesday.
Don't see it if At 1hr 50 min a 20 min intermission was uncalled for. Slow especially on start. Sometimes confusing.
See it if You have nothing else to see.
Don't see it if You are expecting it to be scary. It was not suspenseful & only had a couple moments of ‘jump scares’ provoked by sound effects. Read more
See it if You enjoy seeing a horror on stage. This is a very hard genre to tackle.
Don't see it if You are expecting to be scared the entire time. It’s not like going to a haunted house but more like hearing a scary ghost story Read more
See it if you want to see a relatively simply staged show that tells a brilliant, dark story. More spooky than scary as a horror and some great acting
Don't see it if you don’t enjoy dark and potentially frightening tales or conversely you want a more full blooded horror that will leave you terrified. Read more
See it if Its fantastic to see a ghost story played out on stage. The effects were pretty strong at creating a eerie atmosphere.
Don't see it if If you don't enjoy slow burn horror or hauntings, if you're the kind of person who can't suspend disbelief for haunted houses
See it if you enjoy an eerie tale. Chillingly stylish ghost story grips you with the anticipation of fear & spooky. Wonderful performances
Don't see it if ghost stories aren’t your preferred theatre choice.
See it if you wanna relax into a story
Don't see it if you want something thought provoking and more full of a story
See it if You enjoy an intense show with minimal staging
Don't see it if You don't like being frightened

The Woman in Black tells its supernatural tale in a unique way using basic props and allowing the audience to use their imagination to create a truly fearful horror story. The tension is high and sudden the ‘jump out of your seat’ moments come thick and fast!

Yet the shrieks and gasps that greet the performance demonstrate that, even in the twenty-first century, this doughty little drama still casts its delicious spell of malevolence and menace.

The old stories are always the best - and this one has lost none of its power to terrify.

It is a clever tale that is full of surprises and suspense...It is not hard to see why this show has lasted so long, I sincerely hope that it makes it through another 3,000 performances.
