Abstract
The article focuses on Stephen Mallatratt’s play The Woman in Black (1987) and confronts it with the homonymous novel by Susan Hill (1983), that is its source. The goal of the article is to emphasize the originality of the play in comparison with the literary work, and to demonstrate how it employs specifically theatrical devices to achieve its horror effects. In particular, the article underlines the continuity between theatrical performance and rite, that opens the stage door to the irruption of the supernatural.
