Armadale Wilkie Collins

Armadale is a novel by Wilkie Collins, first published in 1864-66. It is the third of his four 'great novels' of the 1860s: after The Woman in White (1859-60) and No Name (1862), and before The Moonstone (1868).




In the same year that it finished its serial publication, Collins wrote a dramatic version of Armadale in order to protect his rights to later stage the novel.




A play by Jeffrey Hatcher based on the novel premiered on 23 April 2008 at the Milwaukee Repertory Theater.




BBC Radio 4 broadcast a three-part adaptation by Robin Brooks of the novel between Sunday 7 and Sunday 21 June 2009. The cast was Lydia, Lucy Robinson; Allan, Alex Robertson; Midwinter, Ray Fearon; Neelie, Perdita Avery; Bashwood, Richard Durden; Downward, Geoffrey Whitehead; James 'Jemmy' Bashwood, Grant Gillespie; Vincent, Robin Brooks.




In this adaptation, Lydia Gwilt is the narrator, and her character is emphasised rather than Midwinter's forebodings.
