The Woman in Black

The West End’s Longest-Running Ghost Story

JAN 14 - FEB 08, 2026 | WILSON STAGE

About the show:
The second longest-running play in the history of the West End, The Woman in Black is a chilling drama, adapted by Stephen Mallatratt from the 1983 novel by Susan Hill. Mallatratt conjured a complete world into which generations of young people have entered, surrendering to the ultimate magic of theatre: their own imaginations. A dark and scary mystery unfolds as an old man recounts the events of his youth when he went to the fog-embanked countryside of England to settle the estate of a family shrouded in a tragedy that continues to haunt (literally!) anyone who comes too close.

The Original London production of Susan Hill’s The Woman in Black
Adapted by Stephen Mallatratt
Produced by PW Productions
Directed by Robin Herford

Total Run Time (Approx): 2 hours (including a 15-minute intermission)
Recommended Ages: 12+

Context Notes

Discussions of death and funerals, discussions of child death, sounds of a child drowning, discussions of mental illness. Haze effects, jump scares.
