The legacy of The Woman in Black 

The Woman in Black is the second longest-running play in West End History, it has played over 13,000 performances in the West End and has been seen by over 7 million people in the UK. In June 2019 the production celebrated its 30th Anniversary in London’s West End with a special gala performance. 

The Woman in Black had its first performance in Scarborough after Director Robin Herford commissioned Stephen Mallatratt to write the stage adaptation of The Woman in Black, which opened at the Stephen Joseph theatre in 1987. Since its debut and arrival at the Fortune theatre in 1989, Hertford has directed all subsequent performances.
