Woman in Black

Woman in Black at Mckittrick Hotel

Why see Woman in Black?

An Immersive Theatrical Experience Awaits

For three decades, the Woman in Black has delivered thrills, chills and theatrical horror on the West End, becoming London's longest-running show in the process. The enduring ghost play, based on the 1983 gothic novel by Susan Hill, first spooked audiences in a pub four years later before becoming a runaway success still performed today. Returning to its roots, the story finds new life at the Mckittrick Hotel's hidden pub new during an immersive new production helmed by the show's original director Robin Herford. 

Performed entirely by two actors, The Woman In Black begins with a journey. Junior solicitor Arthur Kipps makes his way to the small rural town of Crythin Gifford to attend the funeral of one of his law firm's clients. At the sorrowful affair, he spies a woman, all in black, with a wasted face. When he asks the locals who she is, their reluctance spurs Arthur on to unravel her mystery, to his own terrible cost.

Made me jump out of my skin

I’d seen this play on the West End but it still scared me senseless. The show is staged in a pub inside the MCKittrick Hotel. While the wooden chairs aren’t the most comfortable, the intimate nature of the venue adds to the terror and spooky nature of the production. I got there early and snagged a front row seat. If you’re a fan of ghost stories and good acting, go see this. It’s been running on the West End since 1989 for a reason. This is not suitable for children. ... Read more
