British theater classic now showing at Phoenix Herberger

‘The Woman In Black’ blends illusion, controlled horror

Posted

Direct from the United Kingdom, with a cast from the West End of London, comes the second longest-running play in the history of British theater.

“The Woman In Black” is showing now at Herberger Theater Center, 222 E. Monroe St., in downtown Phoenix.

Stephen Mallatratt adapts Susan Hill's 1983 novel into a bone-chilling drama. Winner of the 2020 Off-Broadway Alliance Awards Best Revival and making its Arizona debut, this celebrated production is a blend of atmosphere, illusion, and controlled horror.

Obsessed with a curse that he believes has been cast over him and his family by the specter of a woman in black, Arthur Kipps engages a skeptical young actor to help him tell his terrifying story and exorcise the fear that grips his soul, according to a Herberger press release.

Shows continue from Thursday, Feb. 15 through Sunday, Feb. 25.

“The Woman In Black” was a New York Times’ 2020 Critic’s Pick.
