Theatregoers invited to experience paranormal encounters at Ordsall Hal
The Woman in Black Ghost Night
The Lowry and Ordsall Hall
Friday 24 March 2017
Following the performance of Susan Hill’s iconic The Woman In Black at The Lowry on Friday 24 March theatregoers are invited to continue their evening with a spine-chilling late-night experience contacting the spirits that haunt Ordsall Hall.
With its own ominous history, Ordsall Hall is home to paranormal encounters which have been experienced first-hand by visitors and staff alike. A medium will guide guests through the Tudor manor, famous for supernatural communication, sudden drops in temperature and sightings of the mysterious White Lady and the figure of a young girl on the stairs.
The Woman In Black Ghost Night Package includes show ticket, a post-show drink, travel to Ordsall Hall and the ghost tour itself.
Stephen Mallatratt’s adaptation of Susan Hill’s best-selling novel has terrified over 64,400 theatregoers across its previous seven visits to The Lowry. The show will make its eighth visit from Mon 20 – Sat 25 March 2017.
Robin Herford’s gripping production is a brilliantly successfully study in atmosphere, illusion and controlled horror.
Stephen Mallatratt’s adaptation of Susan Hill’s novel tells the story of 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’. He engages a young actor to help him tell his story and exorcise the fear that grips his soul. It begins innocently enough, but as they delve further into his darkest memories, they find themselves caught up in a world of eerie marshes and moaning winds. The borders between make believe and reality begin to blur and the flesh begins to creep.
David Acton will play the role of Mr Kipps and The Actor will be playedMatthew Spencer.
The production’s huge popularity has reached a global level, having toured to the United States, South America, Tokyo and Singapore. In 2012, Susan Hill’s novel The Woman in Black was released as a major motion picture, starring Daniel Radcliffe, which became the highest grossing British horror film in 20 years. The sequel to that film, The Woman in Black 2: Angel Of Death, came out in 2014.
The West End show and tour are produced by PW Productions – the company behind the New Arts Theatre at Leicester Square.
Peter Wilson comments, “Everyone at PWP Is proud to continue presenting this perfect piece of theatre. The 2016/17 tour of The Woman in Black is dedicated to the Herford family who have done so much to support, love and create this landmark production.”
The production is directed by Robin Herford, with designs by Michael Holt, lighting by Kevin Sleep and sound by Gareth Owen.
The UK tour runs concurrently with the West End production.
