[Capdist-auditions] Audition: WOMAN IN BLACK (Schenectady Civic Players)

[LWAndruski at aol.com]

     Auditions for Stephen Mallatratt’s "The Woman in Black" will be held on 
Tuesday, September 21 and on Thursday, September 23 at 7:30 p.m. in the 
Playhouse.  Registration for auditions begins at 7:00 p.m. each night.
     Fog and creepily haunted houses, supernatural hap-penings, sea mists and 
dark stormy nights, lonely funerals and creaking attic doors, all combine in 
this gripping adaptation of Susan Hill's tense and thrilling story to create a 
play that taps our primal fears.  
     Arthur Kipps has been plagued most of his adult life by an experience 
that began when he was a young solicitor.  Sent to a small, remote village to 
sort out the estate of the recently deceased Alice Drablow, a client of his 
firm, he soon became ensnared in the horrific revenge meted out by the ghost, 
known as The Woman in Black.  Advancing in years now, Kipps retains the services 
of an actor to help him tell the story to an audience, in the hope that in the 
telling he will exorcise the spectre from him.  What we watch, then, is the 
rehearsal of his play, crafted from Kipps’s manuscript and surprisingly 
terror-filled.
