Adapted from the famous short story by Charles Dickens, the John Goodrum play, The Black Veil, is a classic thriller, full of dark mystery and suspense. It will take place at Swansea Grand Theatre from Wednesday 22nd to Saturday 25th February at 7.30pm, with a matinee performance on Thursday 23rd at 2.00pm.

One winter’s evening towards the end of 1800, a young medical practitioner recently established in business is seated by a fire in his parlour, listening to the wind howling and the rain beating against the window. A visitor arrives dressed in deep mourning; her face 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 into the darkest, most miserable parts of London?
As the play unfolds, the audience is taken on a journey which shifts between mystery, madness, revenge and a twisted love story, while the unsettling atmosphere of suspense is complemented by shadowy lighting, eerie music and sound effects.

“A gripping piece of theatre.” - The Derbyshire Times

“The Black Veil starts the audience off on unsure footing, and they are kept guessing until the end.” - Basingstoke Gazette
