MANILA, Philippines - Dulaang Kalay and Word of Mouth Theater Philippines proudly present the gala premiere of The Woman in Black on Oct. 19, 8 p.m. at Teatrino, Greenhills Promenade San Juan City. Additional performances are on Oct. 20 at 1 p.m. and 8 p.m.
Lauded as “one of the best horror stories you will ever see on the stage,” The Woman in Black is based on Susan Hill’s highly regarded 1983 novel of the same name.
The Woman in Black has originated many adaptations in other media, the most recent of which being a second feature film early this year. This top-grossing film, directed by James Watkins, stars Daniel Radcliffe as Arthur Kipps.
Dulaang Kalay (DK), the first student organization in South East Asia to stage this West End classic, produced and presented an advanced engagement under the direction of William Elvin Manzano last Aug. 31.
Due to numerous requests to restage the play, Jeremy Domingo and Reb Atadero reprise the roles of older Arthur Kipps and the young theater actor, respectively.
The artistic staff of The Woman in Black include William E. Manzano (direction); Janine Santos (original music); Meliton Roxas, Jr. (lighting design); Alden Acosta (sound design); Manu Respall (production design); Nissi Gatan (set design); Lorena Balina (property design); Niña Bedruz (technical direction) and Cha Quebral (deputy technical direction).
The Woman in Black is presented in partnership with Sybex Animal Health & Nutrition, and Global Nutrition International.
