Susan Hill’s The Woman in Black will return for a UK tour, coming to Birmingham and Shrewsbury in 2025/26.

For 33 years The Woman in Black played a record-breaking run in the West End, with over 13,000 performances at the Fortune Theatre before its final performance on Saturday 4 March 2023. It has also been seen by over 7 million people in the UK.

Stephen Mallatratt’s adaptation of Susan Hill’s best-selling novel tells the story of a lawyer obsessed with a curse that he believes has been cast over his family by the spectre of a Woman in Black. He engages a young actor to help him tell his story and exorcise the fear that grips his soul. It begins innocently enough, but as they delve further into his darkest memories the borders between make-believe and reality begin to blur and the flesh begins to creep.

The Woman in Black shows at Theatre Severn, Shrewsbury from Tuesday 30 September - Saturday 4 October 2025 and The Alexandra, Birmingham from Tuesday 27 - Saturday 31 January 2026. Tickets are on sale now.
