Rent The Woman in White

Synopsis

Now a successful new musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber, The Woman in White is a gripping tale of love, greed and insanity. This fall, it is released in this tour-de-force dramatization as a BTC audio edition. Set in Victorian England, this gothic murder mystery opens to a banging gavel in a London courtroom, where an inquiry into the suspicious death of heiress Laura Fairlie is underway. 'Ladies and gentlemen, I shall prove that Laura Fairlie, future heir to the Limmeridge estate, is very much alive.' William Hope stars as the drawing teacher Walter Hartwright and Gina Wilkinson stars as Laura's plain but sensible half-sister Marian in this engrossing psychological thriller. Hartwright tells the story of aiding a ghostly woman, dressed all in white, only to be struck by her strange resemblance to the beautiful Laura. Together, he and Marian describe the strange events in the months leading up to Laura's death. Stratford Festival star Douglas Camell plays the diabolical Count Fosco, while Cedric Smith gives an oily performance as Laura's sinister fiance, Sir Percival Glyde. Aided by Phyllis Cohen's original musical score, playwright and radio dramatist Beverley Cooper vividly recreates the Victorian age in this suspenseful recording.
