They also have an interview with Charlotte Jones, who has written the book for the new Lloyd Webber musical version of A Woman in White.

That first meeting didn't go well. Jones's take on Wilkie Collins's 1860 classic is a radical one, and initially she was convinced that Lloyd Webber was appalled. "I think I was still quite hormonal," she laughs. "But I started telling him my ideas, and he just wouldn't look at me at all, and I thought, 'Oh God, this is so, so bad,' but I somehow couldn't stop myself."
