Brief play synopsis A lawyer obsessed with a curse that he believes has been cast over him and his family by the spectre of a
Woman in Black, engages a sceptical young actor to help him tell his terrifying story and exorcise the fear that
grips his soul. It all begins innocently enough, but then, as they reach further into his darkest memories, they
find themselves caught up in a world of eerie marshes and moaning winds.
Initial judgement in relation to This play was very enjoyable and featured moments of brilliant comedy and complete terror which had me as
question an audience member laughing out loud and screaming in fear.
