The Woman in White
by Wilkie Collins
directed by Emma Vicarage
​
​
The play is a Victorian mystery set in the mid-19th century with a plot full of atmospheric drama and fascinating characters. It was considered the first of its genre at the time. Sir Percival Glyde, who is being hounded for money by the sinister Count Fosco, marries the heiress Laura Fairlie for her fortune. As events unfold, Glyde's efforts to secure the money - and also to remove the threat to his reputation posed by the unfortunate Anne Catherick - become more desperate and cruel. Combined with this tale of disturbing intrigue are elements of romance and comedy: the resulting mix is headily entertaining.
