The Woman in White

About the production

A tempestuous tale of love, betrayal and greed, adapted from Wilkie Collins’ Victorian thriller by Robert Tremayne and brought to life through Dionysus Theatre’s atmospheric ensemble style.

Walter Hartright’s life is changed forever after a chance encounter with a mysterious woman, dressed all in white, who is desperate to reveal her chilling secret. When he takes up his position as drawing master to the beautiful Laura Fairlie and her half-sister, Marian, he sees in Laura’s face an eerie reflection of the forlorn creature he met previously.

Walter and Laura’s feelings for each other are thwarted by her engagement to the sinister Sir Percival Glyde. The arrival of the charming yet devious Count Fosco begins a chilling chain of events that cannot be stopped until the truth is spoken.
