The Woman in Black

A haunting centrepiece for STAG’s 50th anniversary season

Opening July 4th at the Bakehouse Black Box Theatre

Britain’s second-longest-running play after The Mousetrap, The Woman in Black is a beautifully crafted tale of suspense and mystery—an unforgettable journey into the unknown.

A lawyer, gripped by a chilling curse he believes has been cast upon his family by the spectre of a Woman in Black, enlists the help of a young, sceptical actor. Together, they attempt to tell his terrifying tale and banish the fear that has consumed his life. But what begins as a simple rehearsal descends into something far more sinister. As they journey deeper into the past, the moaning winds, eerie marshes, and unspoken horrors of Eel Marsh House begin to close in—and the line between story and reality begins to blur.

Starring Connor McDonald as the Actor and Greg Wighton as Kipps, and co-directed by Bron Prater and Nicky Pummeroy, this ghostly thriller is the perfect tribute to 50 years of unforgettable theatre with Shepparton Theatre Arts Group.
