Susan Hill’s The Woman in Black, as it returns for a 22-venue UK Tour. The production will star John Mackay as Arthur Kipps and Daniel Burke as The Actor, and is coming to the Alhambra Theatre, Bradford from 17 – 21 March 2026.

For 33 years THE WOMAN IN BLACK played a record-breaking run in the West End, with over 13,000 performances at the Fortune Theatre before its final performance on Saturday 4 March 2023. It has also been seen by over 7 million people in the UK.

Stephen Mallatratt’s adaptation of Susan Hill’s best-selling novel tells the story of a lawyer obsessed with a curse that he believes has been cast over his family by the spectre of a ‘Woman in
Black’. He engages a young actor to help him tell his story and exorcise the fear that grips his soul. It begins innocently enough, but as they delve further into his darkest memories the borders between make-believe and reality begin to blur and the flesh begins to creep.

Following a Christmas production in the bar of the Stephen Joseph Theatre Scarborough in 1987, THE WOMAN IN BLACK was brought to Hammersmith’s Lyric Theatre in January 1989. Reviews were sufficiently encouraging to warrant a West End run. Its West End tour started at the Strand (nowNovello) Theatre in March and moved to the Playhouse in April, finally lodging at the Fortune on 7 June 1989.

Throughout the production’s run in the West End and during its many tours the producer has been determined to keep ticket prices within the range of students and young people, a policy that continues today.
