A lawyer obsessed with a curse that he believes has been cast over him and his family by the spectre of a Woman in Black, engages a sceptical young actor to help him tell his terrifying story and exorcise the fear that grips his soul. It all begins innocently enough, but then, as they reach further into his darkest memories, they find themselves caught up in a world of eerie marshes and moaning winds.

Set in the remote town of Crythin Gifford, in the north east of England, Arthur Kipps arrives to settle the estate of a Mrs Alice Drablow of Eel Marsh House. He is bewildered by the refusal of the locals to have anything to do with him. As he sorts through Mrs Drablow's papers, he discovers a history that no-one wants to talk about. What has Mrs Drablow done, and who is the mysterious, ethereal Woman in Black who haunts her house?

One of the longest-running plays in London, The Woman in Black has been terrifying audiences since 1987. It now comes to the Canberra stage, with Honest Puck favourites. James Scott, Brendan Kelly, and Katherine Berry.

Don't miss this spine chilling, psychological horror.
