A chilling thriller by John Goodrum
Based on a short story by Charles Dickens
One winter’s evening, towards the close of the year 1800, or within a year or two of that time, a young medical practitioner, recently established in business, was seated by a fire in his parlour, listening to the wind which was beating the rain in pattering drops against the window.
When a visitor arrives from the dark streets, dressed in deep mourning, the upper part of her figure carefully muffled in a black shawl, her face, as if for concealment, is covered by the black veil.
The woman appears distressed and frightened but what is her deadly secret? What terrifying and tragic mystery lies behind her shroud? What shocking events await the new doctor as he ventures in the darkest, most miserable parts of London?
Adapted from the famous short story by Charles Dickens, John Goodrum’s The Black Veil is one of the most spine-chilling pieces of theatre you are ever likely to see.
