The Woman in White, Wilkie Collins’s best-selling novel, a white-knuckler and a melodrama, has continued to transfix readers for almost 150 years. Fairlie are both amusing and exactly right. Their characterizations of Laura’s arrogant husband, the smooth but untrustworthy Italian Count Fosco, and the nervous Mr. Walter’s steadfastness and loyalty are fully realized Marian’s sense of outrage at her sister’s mistreatment and frustration with her inability to change it are clear. Glen McCready (Walter) and Rachel Bavidge (Marian) are standouts as the moral center of the story. When Laura’s new husband steals her fortune and identity, Walter and Marian mobilize to protect her.

He falls in love with Laura, but she’s engaged to another. Walter Hartright is employed to give drawing lessons to sisters Laura and Marian.

Wilkie Collins’s gothic tale of redemptive love and treachery could not be better suited for a full-cast audio, with different characters picking up the story chronologically.
