Sorry - but I can confirm you are all way off! I wish the show well, but personally speaking, I find teaser trailers that go on for months on end are a total bore. If this isn't a transfer, it'll be a massive letdown.

They aren't gonna let this go on like Bonnie and Clyde - they've got more self respect than that.

Maybe a theatre near China Town in London??? That doesn't narrow it down as there are quite a few.

Opening on/around Chinese New Year? [Yes, I do know that fortune cookies are actually American and not Chinese] My only guess at the significance of the trap clue is that 'Arts' is an anagram of 'rats' and would be the ideal size for the show... Or maybe they're just both red herrings.

There's now a photo of a mouse trap. I doubt they are taking St Martins, but is it in the same group as something else?

They aren't gonna let this go on like Bonnie and Clyde - they've got more self respect than that. They’ve been at it for six days now and it’s boring, if not a bit desperate.

Yeah there’s at least 12 theatres ‘near’ China town I can think of fairly easily!
Woman in Black is booking until April. It has been on a looooong time now. Surely everyone has seen it!

It is very popular with schools for thier drama students as it shows what theatre can do with just a few actors and very simple effects. There is a new set of school students every year. I suspect most drama teachers know it word for word by now.

Well, this might be going to the Fortune after all. The ATG website now shows that The Woman in Black is no longer booking until Sat 29th April, only until Sat 4th March now, and the 8pm performance that evening is sold out 🤔

I am surprised though, The Woman in Black must be super cheap to run, I'm guessing ATG wanted a new show for the Fortune after so many years.

Possibly the decline in the overseas tourist trade has weakened the box office in the last few years, and there is probably more commercial potential now for new shows to entice the home market.

I would be very surprised if overseas tourists actually saw The Woman in Black in their droves. I suspect it was dependent on school trips. I wonder if much like Blood Brothers years ago, The Woman in Black was on a very old contract and ATG have wanted to get rid of it for some time and the opportunity has finally come up for them to secure a new show and get rid of the old show.

No, it's personal preference, but in my opinion if you have teasers, fine but then have the reveal soon enough after. It's a total pain when it goes on for months on end like this and Bonnie & Clyde (I appreciate others may feel differently).

It's being announced on Friday. This is in no way comparable to the absolute embarrassment that has been Bonnie and Clyde. But personal preference I guess as you said.

I'm assuming the closing announcement for The Woman in Black will be in the morning or Thursday.

I am almost positive you're wrong about it going to the Fortune Theatre. Someone on the team mentioned a theatre to me in passing and it wasn't the Fortune

Someone on the team mentioned a theatre to me in passing and it wasn't the Fortune I might be adding 2 plus 2 and getting 5 but it does strike me as odd that The Woman in Black cut its booking period from late April to March so something must be going into the Fortune even if it isn't Operation Mincemeat.

Think the announcement maybe on the 18th Nov They running a fancy Facebook advert, saying big news and that date. With a link to website to sign up for tickets.

Does seem weirdly coincidental timing so maybe it has changed to the Fortune!
