Heady Conduct adapts this sensational classic of secret societies, stolen identities, and sordid asylums in their intoxicating style.

In the darkness of a London street, artist Walter Hartwright is startled by the touch of a hand. He turns to meet a distressed woman, cloaked completely in white.

Walter travels to Cumbria to meet his new student, Laura Fairlie. She is bewitching. She is love at first sight. Intriguingly, she resembles the woman in white.

But the route to love and truth is rarely simple or safe. Betrothed to a man chosen by her late father, Laura is subject to the outrageous lengths men will go to for the sake of honour, power and wealth.

Collins’ classic thriller skillfully addresses the injustice of women's inequality, causing laws and opinions to be questioned in its time.
