The Woman In Black

"Justin Stephens has made the play fresh and exciting in every area...you begin to

understand just how impressive this production is. It is hard to imagine it being

bettered anywhere...could well give lessons to some of the well known set designers

in main stage theatre...a stunning soundscape..." - Stagewhispers

"I have never witnessed an audience jump and gasp in such genuine shock as they do here" Daily Telegraph

"The most brilliantly effective spine chiller you will ever encounter...if you haven't

seen this show yet you are missing a treat" Daily Telegraph

"Prepare to be haunted by one of the best horror stories you will ever see on the stage." - HELLO Magazine

"A real theatrical spine chiller...A truly nerve shredding experience." - The Daily Mail

Unanimously acclaimed by the critics and now in its 28th year in London's West

End, with over 7 million people having seen the play.

The Woman In Black is a terrifying trip through time into a tragic and ghostly world

where the horrors of the supernatural combine with the power and intensity of live

theatre to send shock waves through the audience with splendid thrills and chills.

In this brilliant adaptation of Susan Hill's horror novella, a traumatized man recruits a

young actor to help him exorcise the ghost of the Woman in Black. As the two men

perform the story, they combine some of the oldest theatrical techniques with

modern cinematic styling.

This incredible production has two amazing actors who tell their story in an old

fashioned way, relying on atmosphere, on hints, glimpses and suggestions, heard

and sometimes only half seen. The Woman In Black chills the audience as it builds to

its terrifying climax.

Adapted brilliantly for the stage by Stephen Mallatratt, it has been produced in over

40 countries and has thrilled audiences the world over with its heart-stopping story.

In 2012, came the release of the big screen version starring Harry Potter's Daniel

Radcliffe, which with its spectacular box office became the biggest selling UK horror

movie of the last twenty years.

Redfox3 is a new theatre company presenting productions in the Melbourne

metropolitan and regional area. Established in the famous Yarra Valley wine region,

the company aims to create work that is entertaining, engaging and speaks honestly

to audiences.

Featuring local actors, this is RedFox3's first production and Justin hopes to establish

an exciting and accessible local theatre company.

Directed by award winning director Justin Stephen, a resident of the Yarra Valley,

and brought to you by an exciting new theatre company, RedFox3. Justin is

emerging as one of Melbourne's most electrifying directors. He has been

commissioned by a number of companies and acclaimed by critics.

"I love to be scared, and this story is truly creepy," - Justin Stephens, Director, The

Woman In Black.

"The show can be truly terrifying to watch, one that you can't look away from, even

though you wish you could. It's this kind of Theatre that fascinates me," says

Stephens. "Whenever you can rivet someone to their seats and extract an intense

emotional reaction it's an amazing experience. If it's comedy or drama...or in this

case, horror, I don't mind. I'm most interested in shows that stay with me long after

the curtain has fallen."

Be warned, nightmares may very well be a by-product of this eerie piece. Stephens

hope so but says: "In our house we have a little ritual after watching a scary movie. If

it's truly scary we have to watch a comedy straight after just so we can sleep!

Maybe, if The Woman In Black can do a little bit of that to our audience, without

scaring them away for good, I'd be happy. Come in groups, it's safer that way..."
