Last chance

The Woman in Black: If you’re in the mood for a righteous scare, scurry through the gathering mist to the Road Theatre. There are no blood or guts or graphic eviscerations to be found in this production, only the kind of old-school suspense that relies on slamming doors, blustery winds and things that go bump in the night. Stephen Mallatratt’s deft adaptation of Susan Hill’s novel has been a hit in London for the past 14 years. In Ken Sawyer’s masterful staging, the play’s suspense relies largely on the precision of the lighting and sound cues.
