⭐ THE WOMAN IN BLACK – WEST END RUN TO END AFTER 33 YEARS ⭐
The Woman In Black is set to close in the West End, it has been announced.
After 33 years in London’s West End, the theatrical sensation that is Susan Hill’s The Woman In Black, will play its final performance at The Fortune Theatre, London on Saturday 4th March 2023.
The Woman In Black has played over 13,000 performances in the West End and been seen by over 7 million people in the UK. In June 2019 the production celebrated its 30th Anniversary in London’s West End with a special gala performance.
Following a Christmas production in 1987 at a pub in Scarborough, The Woman In Black was brought to Hammersmith’s Lyric Theatre in January 1989. Reviews were sufficiently encouraging (apart from The Independent, who regretted the production’s inability to incorporate a live dog) to warrant a West End run. Its West End tour started at the Strand (now Novello) Theatre in March and moved to the Playhouse in April, finally lodging at the Fortune on 7th June 1989.
Throughout the run the producer has been determined to keep ticket prices within the range of students and young people. Nevertheless, the production has netted investors more than £8,000,000 over the years at the Fortune. This policy will continue in whatever form the play and production take in the future.
The Woman In Black is directed by Robin Herford, with designs by Michael Holt and lighting by Kevin Sleep.
This will not be the last we’ve seen of The Woman In Black, by any means I’d imagine. Bravo on such a fantastic run! ! !
