Oscar-winning Ghost the Musical will tour the UK
Ghost the Musical will make a return to the stage this summer, embarking on a UK tour for the first time since 2019.
The West End’s production of Susan Hill’s The Woman in Black, is set for a cast change with two new lead actors.
The show, now in its 29th year in the West End, has revealed that Terence Wilton will star as Arthur Kipps and James Byng as The Actor.
Tickets for The Woman in Black are available to book at the West End’s Fortune Theatre until 3rd March 2018.
Group rates are on offer for parties with eight or more people.
Synopsis: The Woman in Black
The show has been adapted by Stephen Mallatratt from Susan Hill’s novel by the same name.
The story follows Arthur Kipps, a lawyer who believes a curse has been put upon him and his family for unleashing the spirit of the Woman in Black during one of his business trips. He asks the aid of a young actor to help tell his story.
However during their re-enactment, the duo discover that the further they delve into Kipps’ story, the more caught up they become in the curse.
The production only has two cast members who tell the story through use of props to create the atmosphere and sound effects are used to create different scenes.
The Woman In Black is directed by Robin Herford, with designs by Michael Holt, lighting by Kevin Sleep and sound by Gareth Owen.
