The Woman in Black

Today I visited the theatre to watch 'The Woman in Black.' I had seen it at the Madinat Theatre a few years ago when it was showing in Dubai and had to go and see it again since they were back here.

The movie is based on this storyline however differs slightly and obviously can be shown in more detail on the screen. The theatrical performance was fantastic and very interesting as there were only two actors. There was also the 'woman in black' who popped up occasionally to give everyone a fright! They were helped along by fantastic sound effects - I can still hear the drumming of the rocking chair.
I went to the afternoon performance thinking that it would be quieter but the theatre was full. There were three rows of students from the same school who annoyed me and kept screaming when it was not even scary, but during the interval they kept saying how they weren't scared?!? Anyway the actors and the story was so engaging that I soon forgot about the pretentious kids.

If you don't know already 'The Woman in Black' is about...a woman in black...who haunts a town due to a tragedy that occurred long long ago. I don't want to give too much away.
I really enjoyed the show and thought the actors were tremendous; the two men changed accents, clothing, the set and put on a brilliant performance without even breaking a sweat! I admire confident people like that.

'The Woman in Black' is on for the rest of the week so if you get a chance go and see it!

Not for the faint hearted or pretentious students!
