The Black Veil

John Goodrum’s The Black Veil is one of the most spine-chilling pieces of theatre you are ever likely to see.

 

One winter’s evening, towards the close of the year 1800, a young medical practitioner is seated by a fire in his parlour. 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, covered by The Black Veil. 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?
