A Gothic masterpiece will haunt the Isaac Theatre Royal

A Gothic masterpiece will haunt the Isaac Theatre Royal these Easter holidays

Following the success of their previous Gothic-themed shows, NO Productions Theatre Company returns to the Gloucester Room at the Isaac Theatre Royal to present another ghostly tale: The Woman in Black, from 29 March to 1 April.

This ghost story masterpiece by Stephen Mallatratt and Susan Hill has been one of the biggest – and scariest – theatre hits over the past 30 years. It tells the story of Mr. Kipps, a solicitor who visits a mysterious house in the eerie marshes to settle the affairs of a recently deceased old woman – and discovers all too late why the townsfolk avoid the place...

The licence to produce this highly sought-after play is hard to obtain worldwide – however, with the Play Bureau’s help, the local company was granted permission to perform this play in Christchurch, New Zealand. The opportunity to see this unique show live on stage will be a special gift to Canterbury audiences during these Easter holidays.

Produced and directed by Ukrainian-born theatre maker Nataliya Oryshchuk, the production features the skilful and versatile Christchurch actors David Allen and Michael Adams, with an original set designed by Julian Southgate.

“A ghost play guaranteed to send shivers down your spine” (Daily Express, UK)
