Casting and full tour dates announced for UK tour of THE WOMAN IN BLACK

Casting and full tour dates have been announced for Susan Hill’s The Woman in Black, as it returns for a 22-venue UK tour, opening at Storyhouse, Chester on 24 September.

Following Chester, it will then play at Theatre Severn, Shrewsbury ahead of a 3-week run at London’s Alexandra Palace before touring to Barnstaple, Plymouth, Brighton, Richmond, Bath, and in 2026, Darlington, York, Glasgow, Birmingham, Chelmsford, Oxford, Poole, Liverpool, Nottingham, Bradford, Peterborough, Malvern, Southampton and Guildford.

The production will star John Mackay (The Doctor, West End/New York) as Arthur Kipps and Daniel Burke (The Girl on the Train, UK tour) as The Actor.

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.

THE WOMAN IN BLACK is directed by Robin Herford, with designs by Michael Holt, and lighting by Kevin Sleep.
