The woman in white
It is not a novel that appears to lend itself to a stage dramatisation, a musical one at that. However, with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and direction from Trevor Nunn, The Woman in White is an engaging and exhilarating production with strong performances and breath-taking sets.

THE WOMAN IN WHITE Palace Theatre, London
'This is the story of what a woman's patience can endure, and what a man's resolution can achieve'. So begins Wilkie Collins's 1860 novel, a tale of mystery and intrigue, a story in which the polarities of light and dark, good and evil, masculine and feminine are set against each other through complex narrative and vivid characterisations.
