The Woman In White

 Wilkie Collins’s classic Victorian mystery The Woman in White, running from July 11 to 26 2025 with director & script writer, Robert Hockenberry. The story features the remarkable heroine Marian Halcombe and her sleuthing partner, drawing master Walter Hartright, pitted against the diabolical team of Count Fosco and Sir Percival Glyde.  The story is early example of detective fiction with protagonist Walter Hartright employing many of the sleuthing techniques of later private detectives.  Themes include the law as a flawed institution; morality, crime and punishment; identity and appearance; marriage and gender; plus class, industry and social place.  A good mystery!
