‘The Woman in Black’ Haunts Ypsi’s Riverside Arts Center

REVIEW EXCERPT by David Kiley

“…The strength of The Woman in Black lies not only in its gothic, suspenseful plot, but also in its thoughtful execution. Fran Potasnik directs the three-actor cast and portrays the line-less Woman in Black. The cast produces compelling performances, breathing life into each character they play with nuance.

The Woman in Black succeeds in doing what all great theater strives for – transporting the audience to another realm where the line between reality and illusion is blurred, and the power of storytelling reigns supreme….”
