Fitzy O'Hare's Wasilla Homehunter Blog: The Woman in Black - A ghostly play

Looking for something fun to do as the familiy this October in Wasilla? The Valley Performing Arts has you covered.

They are presenting "The Woman in Black" a play from October 14th to the 30th.

Synopsis:

Arthur Kipps, a middle-aged solicitor, hires a theatre and the services of a professional actor to help him reenact, and thereby hopefully exorcise, a ghostly event which befell him many years previously with horrifyingly tragic results.  From the cluttered stage, Kripps begins to read his story: painfully, self-consciously and hesitantly at first, but, coached by an actor and aided by theatrical artifice, he grows in confidence and ability as he assumes a variety of roles and the play moves from narration to enactment.  The actor portrays the young Kipps, sent north by his London firm to settle the estate of an elderly recluse, the late Mrs. Drablow, in whose isolated marshland house Kipps encounters the Woman in Black.  This spectre, seeking vengeance for the death of her young child, attaches herself to Kipps and unleashes a macabre sequence of events which culminate in a truly chilling twist in the play’s final moments.
