What The Daily Mail called "a real theatrical spine chiller...a truly nerve shredding experience."
This gothic ghost play tells the story of a lawyer who must manage the estate of a recently deceased and relatively wealthy widow. He travels to her abandoned manor, set upon a vast moor, accessible only when the tide is out. And on a dark and stormy evening, he catches sight of a woman in all black with a wasted face partially obscured by a black veil. He soon learns that a terrible fate awaits anyone who is unlucky enough to see this vicious specter.
Important Dates:
Preview Night ($15 tickets): October 3
Pay What You Will: October 6*
Free Student Performance: October 10
$5 Student Tickets in the Gallery every night
*PWYW reservations are available in advance in the Gallery (2nd level) and side seating (left and right of stage). If you're hoping for the center section, that is full price in advance online, but the center section does become PWYW on the day of the event at the door, one hour before curtain.
We unfortunately had to make this change because we were seeing an unusually high number of folks reserve PWYW tickets in advance but not attend the show, leaving empty seats and a long waiting list of folks who couldn’t be served. We are trying to make it possible to serve more folks and get a fuller house while still offering the discounted price.
Another difference between online and at the door: online PWYW begins at $5. At the door can be as low as $1. Again, just an effort to make sure more folks get to attend on the day.
