Legendary ghost thriller The Woman in Black is returning to a UAE stage next month.

The critically-acclaimed theatre show, currently enjoying its record-breaking 23rd year in London’s West End, has sold out all shows on two previous occassions in Dubai.

Based on Susan Hill’s best-selling novel and adapted for the stage by Stephen Mallatratt, the play will feature a West End cast.

It follows the chilling story of a young Arthur Kipps, a junior solicitor, ordered by his firm’s senior partner to travel up from London to attend the funeral of Alice Drablow who died alone in Eel Marsh House. A terrible sense of unease is played out as he glimpses a young woman with a wasted face, dressed all in black come and go.
