"The top-notch cast and production team pull out all the stops to make you feel pleasantly uncomfortable but truly chilled and thrilled."
Wirral Globe

The legendary production of Susan Hill’s chilling ghost story THE WOMAN IN BLACK returns to Liverpool this Christmas, direct from London's West End, after an incredible 33 year run at the Fortune Theatre. 
 
The Woman in Black brilliantly delivers atmosphere, illusion and horror! Experience the thrill and excitement of this critically-acclaimed international theatre event that has been seen by over 7 million people worldwide, and 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.

"The most brilliantly effective spine-chiller you will ever encounter."
Daily Telegraph

"Guaranteed to chill the blood."
Evening Standard
