Second Wind presents The Woman in Black this October!
This winter thriller is a bone-chilling, insidiously eerie story of young Arthur Kipps, a solicitor sent to a remote house
on England’s bleak East Coast. Here, Mrs. Alice Drablow, a stern and cruel woman, lived and died. Unaware of the tragic
secrets that lie behind the shuttered windows, Kipps has been sent to attend her funeral and sort out her estate. The
locals believe the house is cursed, and refuse to talk about the mysterious woman in black who lurks in the marshes. But
when he is forced to spend a night alone in the mansion, cut off from the mainland by the rising tide, the horrifying
truth begins to reveal itself.
"One of the most brilliantly effective spine-chillers you will ever encounter."
~ The London Daily Telegraph
"Second Wind effortlessly enthralls with their taut,
gripping suspense and intense pacing." ~ Albert Goodwyn, SF Bay Times & Doctor Theatre Bliss
The Woman in Black treads in the footsteps of the classic ghost story, following the tradition of Charles Dickens,
Henry James, and Edgar Allen Poe. It is not only an audience favorite, it also the winner of multiple awards (LA Times
Critics Choice, 4 Drama Critics Circle Awards, and a Backstage West Critics Pick). The second longest running show in
Lond today, it has been hailed as “One of the most brilliantly effective spine-chillers you will ever encounter.”
by the Daily Telegraph. Albert Goodwyn of the SF Bay Times and Doctor Theatre Bliss lends his own rave of our production.

a Chill Wind. You won't want to miss this perfect Autumn night out in the city!
Second Wind believes theatre is a vehicle for getting people fired up and engaged
in issues that are important to them. We embrace the tradition of theater as an instrument of both education and
catharsis. Our focus is often political, always about the relationship between us and our world. Charles Brousse of the
Marin Independent writes: "Second Wind has a goal that is rare in today
bottom-line driven theatre world: to use the stage to explore social and
political issues that impact ordinary Americans lives." And now you can become
a part of the process!
