Based on the hugely popular 1859 novel by Wilkie Collins, The Woman in White opens on a lonely moonlit road near London, where a young drawing master meets a mysterious woman dressed all in white. The woman has escaped from an asylum for the insane. Thus the story begins, propelling the audience into a gothic, romantic mystery. The Woman in White is a fantastic story with one of the most compelling female heroines ever written, Marian Halcombe.
