“I was hypnotised by the story and by the beautiful way you created it on stage. The performance was flawless and believable.”Audience member, East Lane Theatre, Wembley
Walter Hartright’s life is changed forever after a chance encounter with a mysterious woman dressed all in white, desperate to reveal a chilling secret. When he becomes drawing master to Laura Fairlie and her half sister Marian, he sees in Laura an eerie reflection of the woman he met on the road.
A tempestuous tale of love, betrayal and greed, adapted from Wilkie Collins’ Victorian thriller and brought to life through Dionysus Theatre’s atmospheric ensemble style.
