**”The Woman in Black”: Three Decades of Thrills and Laughter**
Terror and humor united once more in an unforgettable double feature of “The Woman in Black” on October 25th at the CECUT’s Show Hall. Celebrating 30 years of delivering chills and chuckles, this production continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
Adapted from a renowned English play, the story revolves around Arthur Kipps, who enlists the help of theatre director John Morris to recount a haunting personal experience. However, as the tale unfolds, it’s the audience who finds themselves taken aback.
Set within the engaging framework of metatheatre, the characters perform in a play within the play, creating an immersive and haunting experience. The talent behind the production shines through performances by Rafael Perrín as Arthur, Benjamín Rivero as John, and Gabriela Palacios as The Lady, supported by a collaborative crew of sound, lighting, and stage technicians.
This milestone also served as a tribute to Tomás Perrín, whose early vision brought this gripping tale to Mexican audiences. His brother Rafael recalls the time Tomás discovered the original production in London, recognizing its potential to mesmerize Mexican theatergoers.
Pledging a return next year, “The Woman in Black” bids farewell to its enthusiastic fans, with promises to continue enchanting new audiences.
