The Woman in Black (stage play) Clip Two

This is a short clip from a stage production of "The Woman in Black," adapted from the novel by Susan Hill. Structured as a play-within-a-play, the cast consists of two men - a young actor/teacher and an older gentleman who is haunted by his past - who use little more than the power of storytelling to recreate a ghostly experience that befell the protagonist many years before.

About this scene: while traveling by train to Crythin Gifford to settle the estate of the deceased Alice Drablow, the young solicitor Arthur Kipps meets Samuel Daily, a local landowner, who tells him about the strange and sudden "sea-frets" (mists) that sometimes rise over the town & its environs. Later, at the hotel, the innkeeper is visibly disturbed when Kipps mentions Mrs. Drablo & Eel Marsh House, and states that not even a real estate mogul like Mr. Daily would buy that particular piece of land.

Note: The video is rough in spots.

Is this the one at the Fortune Theatre in London?

[jjobie]

Same play, but this was the short-lived Broadway production from a few years back. There are some differences between this production and the version currently running at the Fortune theater.

saw this last year, on fron row with school. and i must say i agree with everyone about the rocking chair. the worst one for me was when she was sat in the chair rocking back and forth woth her legs out stretched. it just looked so unatural it freaked me out completely. and theres me thinking a play can never be scary lol boy was i wrong.

@MrOusby Mr Bunce was actually the sound man in real life---- I honestly thought he was just in the play, it sounds a really old-fashioned surname!!

[x8Charlotte8x]

at first i wasn't too sure about the play within a play thing (in case the suspense and terror was lost) but my sister and i were scared stiff right the way through!!!! and the actors were brilliant!!!!! knowing the book doesn't really help with making it less scary, either :)

@import26 oh, i didnt see the previous comments, i thought you were trying to say that it was only played from broadway...

[import26]

@CayenneCanine That's not what I said. I was trying to correct those who said it played on Broadway. It only played Off-Broadway - I'm just referring to the New York productions.

[CayenneCanine]

@import26 sorry, but your wrong. the original and best theater that it was first show from is the fortune theater in london.

[import26]

@jjobie The Woman in Black only played Off-Broadway.

[MrOusby]

From Broadway... and you filmed it... yes very different from the Fortune's Prod. The stage is far too cluttered with stuff.... Keep basic kipps. Thank you Mr Bunce.

I'm going to see it on Tuesday too, apparently it's meant to be scary. But personally I think it's going to be shit from what others have said. :|

[Liltommo14]
