The legendary ghost thriller ‘The Woman in Black’, one of the world’s most successful plays, will return to Dubai this September/October due to popular demand, presented by the region’s award-winning producer West End Worldwide. The production will run at the Zabeel Theatre, Zabeel Saray, Palm Jumeirah Dubai for a limited season from 30th October to the 2nd November 2024.
Unanimously acclaimed by the critics, Stephen Mallatratt’s stage adaptation of Susan Hill’s bestselling novel harnesses the power and intensity of live theatre, transporting audiences into an atmospheric and terrifying ghostly world.
The Woman in Black is respected internationally as one of the most effective plays ever to be written. Over 7 million people worldwide have seen Susan Hill’s chilling ghost story on stage where it continues to delight and terrify audiences of all generations. Made even more famous by the record-breaking movie version starring Daniel Radcliffe, The Woman in Black features a brilliant West End cast. This heart-stopping award-winning production has sold out its previous runs in the UAE and returns due to overwhelming demand.
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 begins innocently enough, but as they reach further into his darkest memories the borders between make-believe and reality begin to blur and the flesh begins to creep as the Woman in Black reveals her terrible purpose…
