The Mezzotint
1923. Edward Williams, gentleman and amateur golfer, lives an untroubled life as the curator of a small university museum. His speciality is the topography of the British Isles. So when an art dealer sends him details of an interesting engraving - a mezzotint - of an old country house, he's intrigued. When the picture arrives, however, it seems perfectly ordinary - until Williams notices a figure in the picture where there was none before. A cloaked figure, with a skull-like head and legs that are horribly thin. Soon, within the mezzotint, the figure seems to be on the move across the moonlit lawn towards the house with murderous intent. Long-forgotten secrets rise to the surface as Williams and his friends summon all the rational forces at their command to confront the impossible.

A SPECIFICALLY THEATRICAL KIND OF HORROR: THE WOMAN IN BLACK
The article focuses on Stephen Mallatratt’s play The Woman in Black (1987) and confronts it with the homonymous novel by Susan Hill (1983), that is its source. The goal of the article is to emphasize the originality of the play in comparison with the literary work, and to demonstrate how it employs specifically theatrical devices to achieve its horror effects. In particular, the article underlines the continuity between theatrical performance and rite, that opens the stage door to the irruption of the supernatural.
L’articolo esamina il dramma The Woman in Black di Stephen Mallatratt (1987), mettendolo a confronto con il romanzo omonimo di Susan Hill (1983) da cui deriva. L’articolo analizza i procedimenti specificamente teatrali di realizzazione dell’orrore, che fanno del dramma un’opera più originale della tradizionale ghost story che ne è all’origine. In particolare viene sottolineata la ritrovata continuità tra performance teatrale e azione rituale, che espone la scena all’irruzione del soprannaturale.
