I'm going to see a scary one this evening, or at least it has the potential to be scary. Going to see "Woman In Black"on the stage. It's been showing for 23 years so perhaps it'll be a bit dated but I quite like retro productions so I hope I'll enjoy it. Daniel Radcliffe did a great job in the film version last year, I thought, and it will be interesting to see how they create that level of dread and suspense in the theatre.

I just hope I don't jump around too much - I always manage to get shocked, even when I have seen the play or film many times before and know what is going to happen. It's really ridiculous. I can be sitting there thinking "OK here comes the bit where he gets shot, get ready, get ready, it's in a few seconds"....... "waaaaaah!" and then I jump out of my skin.

I guarantee you a few jumps with TWIB! The play adaptation is brilliant fun. It's a popular one amongst actors to do, either looking to be discovered or old stagers wishing to join the ranks of those that have done it at the Fortune. The person playing the ghost is the understudy/substitute in the event of either of the other two taking ill (mentioned in the programme).

Did you know there's an earlier film version done in 1989 for ITV? It's available on YouTube.





Well worth watching even today,
