About the Play

This Halloween, dare to experience one of the most terrifying ghost stories ever staged.

By Stephen Mallatratt · Adapted from the novel by Susan Hill

A lonely house. A mysterious woman dressed in black. A haunting that refuses to stay buried.

Susan Hill’s chilling novel is brought vividly to life in Stephen Mallatratt’s acclaimed stage adaptation, which thrilled and terrified audiences in London’s West End for more than 30 years. Now, for two performances only, The Woman in Black comes to Amsterdam.

Told with breathtaking theatrical ingenuity, this masterclass in suspense uses atmosphere, imagination, sound, and storytelling to create an unforgettable evening of theatre that will stay with you long after the lights go down.

Rarely seen outside professional productions and unavailable for amateur performance in the British Isles, this is a unique opportunity to experience one of theatre’s most celebrated ghost stories.

Tickets are limited. Book now — if you dare.
