In Northern Italy, shortly after World War One, Death disguises himself as a handsome young prince to try to
understand why life is so precious and death so feared. But when he unexpectedly falls in love with a newly engaged
young woman, this mysterious stranger discovers that love may in fact be stronger than death. With a book by multi
Tony Award winners Thomas Meehan and Peter Stone, based on the 1928 Italian play of the same name which went on
to inspire the movie, Meet Joe Black, starring Brad Pitt, and a lush, romantic score by multi Tony Award winner Maury
Yeston (Titanic, Nine), this is a soaring story of the preciousness of life and the overwhelming power of love.

return from the trenches. The world-weary Benedick and his friend Claudio find

The Woman in Black, now celebrating 25 years in the West End, combines the
power and intensity of live theatre with a cinematic quality inspired by the world of
film noir. It gives audiences an evening of unremitting drama as they are transported
into a terrifying and ghostly world. This is one of the most exciting, gripping and
successful theatre events ever staged.
