Ghost thriller at Fremantle on Friday 13th
Tue, 10 May 2005, 10:36 pmFriday the 13th approaches and got nothing to do?
Like a good ghost story to scare the living daylights out of you?
Then come and see Harbour Theatre's production of Susan Hill's "WOMAN IN BLACK" - adapted by Stephen Mallatratt and directed by Leon Ousby.
Arthur Kipps (Kim Taylor), a middle-aged solicitor, hires a theatre and the services of a professional actor (Leon Ousby) to help him re-enact, and thereby hopefully exorcise, a ghostly event which befell him many years previously with horrifyingly tragic results. From the cluttered stage, Kipps begins to read his story: painfully, self-consciously and hesitantly at first, but, coached by the actor and aided by theatrical artiface, he grows in confidence and ability as he assumes a variety of roles and the play moves from narration to enactment. The actor portrays the young Kipps, sent north by his London firm to settle the estate of an elderly recluse, the late Mrs Drablow, in whose isolated marshland house Kipps encounters the Woman in Black. This spectre, seeking vengeance for the death of her young child, attaches herself to Kipps and unleashes a macabre sequence of events which culminate in a truly chilling twist in the playÂ’s final moments.
This is a Community Theatre production by arrangement with Dominie Pty Ltd.
Sound effects by Spotty Camel Productions.
VENUE: The Princess May Theatre (next to ClancyÂ’s Fish Pub)
TIME: 8pm sharp (doors open 7:20pm)
BOOKINGS: (08) 9433 6260

ARE YOU PREPARED TO SEE THE WOMAN IN BLACK?????
Thou impertinent guts-griping strumpet!
