Reddit reviews The Woman in Black (Acting Edition)

So much of the play is in a story-teller monologue style. It's been a couple years since I did it, so I'm having trouble thinking of specifics. It's a great read, though. Looks like you can get the Kindle version for three dollars

Okay, I'm sure you'll get the impression that I'm a horror fan soon enough, so this next play that I recently read is a ghost story. The Woman in Black by Stephen Mallatratt, based on the novel by Susan Hill, which was recently adapted into a feature film (which I have not seen). It was first performed in 1989.

It follows the path of an actor hired by a man named Kipps to perform his story of a series of encounters with a phantom woman. The cast consists of the two men, with a third actor (uncredited) to play the ghost. Basically, it's the story of the source novel except that the curse of the Woman in Black starts to bleed through to the reality of the play that the two actors are performing.

I like it mostly because it's very simple but well written and I could easily see it scaring the hell out of an audience if done correctly. Definitely worth reading.
