London’s ‘The Woman in Black’ Stage Play is Returning to NY Next Year
Long before Daniel Radcliffe starred in 2012’s adaptation of Susan Hill’s 1983 horror novel The Woman in Black, and even before the novel was first adapted for the screen decades prior in 1989, Stephen Mallatratt turned the story into a stage play in the United Kingdom, which has become (via Wikipedia) “the second longest-running play in the history of the West End.”
A staple in London, the play is returning to New York next year, Deadline reports.
“An eight-week run of London’s endurable ghost play will begin previews January 8, with an official opening on January 23.”
This will be the first time The Woman in Black has made her way to New York since 2001, and she’ll be taking over The McKittrick Hotel’s Club Car on 530 West 27th Street.
Deadline notes, “The Woman in Black tells the story of a young lawyer who stumbles upon a small town with a grave secret. This staging will “weave” among and around the audience.”
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
