Stephen Mallatrat's masterful script takes the premise of a Susan Hill novel as its basis. One of the surviving characters, an elderly lawyer, returns to the scene of the action. He aims to exorcise the ghosts of his youth by hiring an actor to retrace his steps.
Both characters are brilliantly convincing: the frail, troubled but rational old man, and his sceptical, bold young assistant. Both are pretty well determined not to get spooked or to set too much store in what happened years ago. And both slide terrifyingly back into past horrors as if the intervening years did not exist.
Elegantly scripted and beautifully produced with the lighting and tension of a film noir, The Woman in Black is a fantastic piece of theatre that is also genuinely frightening.
