“Absolutely Amazing and Shocking!”

Written on: 04/11/2012 by tia26 (1 review written)

The woman in black is an AMAZING play I would definitely go and see it again! It is a very small theatre which helps with the tension and general atmosphere throughout the play. The fact the it is done with only two main actors and the woman in black, in my prior opinion, made it seem very boring. But as I am taking drama GCSE it is compulsory to go. When I got there I was being very negative about the whole thing saying to my friends oh this is going to be boring and rubbish, but I was so... (read more)

“The worst west end show ever ! ”

Written on: 26/09/2012 by 6337sean (1 review written)

I saw The Women in Black last night at the fortune theatre. AND WHAT A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY. It was truely the most aweful production I have ever seen. I am susprised they can get away with such rubbish.... Two actors, whom play several characters, you even have to imagine a dog is on stage at one point. Its no more then a school play, this shouldnt be on at the west end. They havent invested in props and the set never changes. My advice: DO NOT GO !! you will be disapointed to say the...

You need to read into the history of the play. My class are going to see this play soon and we are looking forward to it. We study Drama GCSE and this is part of our course. It is a theatre strategy. And plus they didn't have a lot of money when they first got the chance to stage the play so they couldn't afford many actors or props. You are supposed to imagine it, it makes it more scary. It isn't their fault that you have the charisma and the imagination of piece of carboard.

Your review demonstrates that you don't have understood at all the real meaning and force of this play:this summer I've been in London for the only purpose of watching it at the Fortune Theatre,and all I can say is that it's really been worth it.Indeed,I'm doing my graduation thesis precisely about"The Woman in Black":before expressing bad opinions about a play/book/movie,please make sure to have some background knowledge about it and the cultural movement in which it rose,otherwise remain silent,you may risk to annoy those who do have a real interest and love for theatre or whatever.

seriously? the worst show ever? You joking me? its AMAZING! the Woman In Black isn't supposed to have props that's the point! it was first put on as a low budget Christmas scare in some small theatre outside of London. You need to read the book and film to get a proper understanding of why its put on at the west end. Do some research before you make a comment like that about something you have very little knowledge on.

I think you have not thought with a open mind about this Production. The costumes, the stage, imagination need to create a vivid image of a dog, the obviously placed smoke machine and the fact there are only two characters is all for a purpose. The plot of the play is that Aruther Kipps has a story of grief and horror; based on his earlier life. He goes to an well talented actor and asks for him to help in presenting this story to close friends and family. The actor he hired sees greater potential for the story and wants to transform it into a high budget production (recorded sounds being expensive back then) and make the world proud of his talent. The entire play is screaming at you that you are watching a play within a play.

I have just been to see w.I.B as a totally unexpected surprise from my husband. I loved the film and have equally enjoyed the theatre performance. The small; intimate setting of the auditoriam suits the general feel of the story: unerving, dark and claustraphobic. Everything perfect....the actors of which only two are present, deliver suberb performances....talented and memorable. the direction of the storyitself for this particular genre balances humour and horror perfectly.

Went to see this play last week with my partner. It was his first theatre experience. The two actors are obviously good at their craft but the play as a whole was boring, without suspense. The screaming sound effects served to ensure the audience stayed awake by jolting us into consciousness at the appropriate moments. The clapping at the end of this play was obviously an expression of relief that it was finally over and we were once again free to wonder around the West End. Oh my.... (read more)

The film was brilliant as was the book. The show itself was dull, dull, dullll and the 1st half was wasted on a ridiculous attempt at comedy? My son in law actually fell asleep before the end of the 1st half. We were all thoroughly disappointed by poor props, limited cast and the length it took to finally start with the scary stuff.. Don't bother wasting your time or money!! After seeing the all singing dancing cast that is Mamma Mia, this was a total let down. Even the theatre was a... (read more)

no no no no NO! The play was Fantastic if you analyze it the whole point of it being a two cast show is because it was about Mr. Kipps hiring a young actor to help him tell the story of an event that happend to Mr kipps when he was younger, the whole audience was involved remember at the start the young actor and Mr Kipps was saying look at all these empty rows before me... even the auditorium its self was involved that is why there was a cyclorama curtain hung across the stage to give the stage a claustrophobic feeling and the fact the Fourtune theatre was very unusaral/unique gave the room a cold atmostphere.
the play is very intement and becomes personal for example the woman in black walks straight past you... The play was extrodinary it is (i would say) the most SCARYIST play on the west end and i would say to anyone to get some tickets and brace yourselfs for a scary experience.

As one of my favourite plays I was extremely upset that it should be ruined for a new potential fan due to dire customer service, as the actors actualyl made a reasonable attempt, althoguh I can't say I was astounded by the acting talent.

“Brilliant Entertainment, very tense!”

Written on: 21/03/2012 by Ransom1337 (1 review written)

I would firstly like to thank the two actors for a fantastic performance. Their energy was felt throughout the entirety of The Woman in Black. This is the third time I've been to see this play over the course of a decade, and it hasn't lost it's appeal. The brilliantly planned use of stage and props really bring the horror story to life, with unexpected areas of the stage opening up to reveal more areas of the manor. Even now, the incredibly clever use of 'play within a play' impresses me.... (read more)

“Amateur dramatics”

Written on: 28/01/2012 by Paul_L (1 review written)

Must have seen a different play from everyone else. Two guys and no scenery for 2 hours. More like a melodrama than anything else. Pretty boring and minimal suspense. I have seen amateur dramatics that was more entertaining. As far as I could see from the audience if you are a teenage girl you will love it - otherwise spend your money elsewhere. (read more)

Just returned from seeing this spine-tingling gem of a performance with my wife in London's West End. After initially wondering how on earth only two actors, plus minimal props and a simple stage set up could possibly carry off one of the most classic ghost stories of all time, my worries and fears were allayed by a truly mesmerising (and believable) delivery by David Acton and Ben Deery. The stripped-down, back-to-basics arrangement allows the wonderful script and rich, convincing and... (read more)

Written on: 21/11/2011 by reviewkitten (280 reviews written)

I went to see The Woman in Black a few months ago when the actors were Patrick Drury and Anthony Eden. I saw Ghost Stories shortly before and friends had recommended we come see this. Managed to buy some slightly cheaper tickets for an afternoon matinee to make an afternoon of it we had dinner afterwards. The show was pretty good. I won't mention any plot details as this could spoil it for anyone that wants to go and see it. It starts off slowly and gradually builds the tension. The two... (read more)

I went to this play on a Saturday with my mum and sister. None of us knew much about the play, but we thought we'd give it a go. When we walked in i noticed compared to other shows I’ve seen the set pieces were very simple and the stage was rather small and i wasn’t sure what kind of a production this would turn out to be, but on came the two fabulous actors, who had my attention immediately and commanded the stage beautifully.

“Woman in Black”

Written on: 11/06/2011

I thought the Woman in Black was an excellent play because it was captivating, the actors were believable and the plot was filled with suspense. Although the playwright, Stephan Mallatratt, sets the play in the early 20th century as in the original novel by Susan Hill, he gives it a contemporary twist by adding modern clothes, electric torches and pre recorded sound effects which help set the atmosphere. The stage adaption of Woman in Black is cleverly designed as a play within a play where... (read more)

The actors were very good and the woman in Black's face was extremely scary looking, sadly that is the only positive thing I can say. The play lacked excitement and in the first scene my mind drifted and I was more interested in what ice cream flavour I would choose in the interval. It was not scary but it did make me jump once or twice however that was due to the loud sound effects of people screaming. Granted the woman in black had a scary face there was nothing else scary about the play.... (read more)

The fact is with this play you need imagination!

I went with my school so it didnt cost as much. IT WAS THE BEST! We all want to see it again, the way the actors merged into the story and back out into the acting part. I liked the way they still considered the WIB to be supernatural and didnt put down the actresses name on anything. It was good at building tension and giving the audience a false sense of security and you jumped out of your seats at silly things like when he fell over a bucket and when the train entered a tunnel.
