First serialized in Harper’s Bazar (later Bazaar), between 1875 and 1876, Wilkie Collins’s The Two Destinies follows the lives of childhood friends George and Mary.

George is the son of a nobleman, while Mary is the daughter of the nobleman’s bailiff. As the friends grow older and closer, George’s father, determined to end their affair, dismisses the bailiff and moves George to America.

Years later, George returns to his native Suffolk to track down his former love. Although she has long gone, he remains determined to find Mary at all costs. But are the two lovers destined to find each other again?

In this multi-voice production, we find Collins’s trademark melodrama along with an exploration of the powers of telepathy, reflecting the late Victorian preoccupation with spiritualism.
