CPH hosts spine-tingling ghost story ‘The Woman in Black’ Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal Member, American Theatre Critics Association It’s been suggested that the Hanna Theatre in Playhouse Square is haunted. Perhaps. But the Allen Theatre just down the street most certainly has things that go bump in the night and during the matinees, courtesy of the Cleveland Play House’s season opener “The Woman in Black.” Based on Susan Hill’s 1983 novel of the same name, and the very stuff the 2012 film with Daniel Radcliffe was made of, this gothic ghost story was adapted for the stage by Stephen Mallatratt. The play has resided in London for the past 30 years, toured England on several occasions, and has had several productions in other countries. The current production embraces the original London staging as recreated by the show’s original director, Robin Herford, and is being promoted as the U.S. premiere of the London production.
