The Woman in White

Now a successful new musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber, The Woman in White is one of the most eerily thrilling melodramas of the Victorian age. This gripping dramatization of Wilkie Collins’s gothic tale of love, greed and insanity is tour-de-force BTC audio edition. Set in Victorian England, the story begins in a London courtroom, where the main characters are testifying about the mysterious death of heiress Laura Fairlie. William Hope stars as drawing teacher Walter Hartwright, who aids a ghostly woman, dressed all in white, only to be struck by her strange resemblance to the beautiful Laura. Stratford Festival actor Douglas Campbell plays the diabolical Count Fosco, while Cedric Smith gives a memorable oily performance as Laura’s sinister fiancé, Sir Percival Glyde.
