The Woman in Black
Stephen Mallatratt’s The Woman in Black will play at the Watermark Theatre this summer.
PEI actor Brandon Stafford will star in the show, joining actors Caroline Bell and Paul Van Dyck in bringing the characters to life. The artistic team also includes Robert Tsonos and Rahul Gandhi, directors; Sabrina Balliana, set and costume designer; Ryan Rafuse, lighting designer; and Rehan Lalani, sound designer.
Stafford, known to PEI audiences from several plays with Feast Dinner Theatres, will be playing the leading role of Kipps in The Woman in Black.
The Woman in Black, by Stephen Mallatratt and based on the novel by Susan Hill, will be performed from July 4 to August 29 and directed by Rahul Gandhi. In the shadowy corridors of an old Victorian theatre, a young actor meets a haunted lawyer compelled to unravel the sinister secrets that plague his nightmares. Together, they recount the tale of a young solicitor who ventures to the eerie marshlands of the English countryside to settle the affairs of a recently deceased woman. Audience members can expect a riveting theatrical journey through the unknown—one that keeps them on the edge of their seats and sends shivers down their spines. This haunting play ran for three decades in London’s West End.
