Description
In 1867 Wilkie Collins and Charles Dickens collaborated to produce a stage play titled No Thoroughfare: A Drama: In Five Acts.[1] This was the last stage production to be associated with Dickens, who died in June 1870. The play opened at the Adelphi Theatre on 26 December 1867. The novel No Thoroughfare was also first published in 1867, in the Christmas number of Dickens’ periodical All The Year Round.
Two boys from the Foundling Hospital are given the same name, (Walter Wilding), with disastrous consequences in adulthood. After the death of one – now a proprietor of a wine merchant's company – the executors, to right the wrong, are commissioned to find a missing heir. Their quest takes them from wine cellars in the City of London to the sunshine of the Mediterranean – across the Alps in winter. Danger and treachery would prevail were it not for the courage of the heroine, Marguerite, and a faithful company servant.
