The Woman in White

The Pittsburgh Savoyards open their 88th season with Wilkie Collins’s seminal mystery story The Woman in White, or: The Mystery of the Lost Lady, adapted for the stage and directed by Robert Hockenberry.

The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins is a mysterious and suspenseful Victorian novel that has been adapted over a dozen times, including film, television, radio, and theatre productions. Explored through the frame of a courtroom trial, the story follows drawing master Walter Hartright as he encounters a strange, ghostly woman dressed in white on a lonely road at night. Soon after, he takes a position teaching two half-sisters at a secluded estate, only to uncover a web of secrets, mistaken identities, and hidden motives. Themes of deception, justice, and the limitations placed on women in the 19th century are explored, and as Walter and the women around him delve deeper into the truth, danger and intrigue grow. But who is the woman in white, and what is the secret she is desperate to reveal?
