Supplying a conclusion to this story has occupied authors and Dickens fans from the time of his death, so it should be interesting to see how this adaptation (from the producers of Little Dorrit ) chooses to tackle the unknown ending - as far as I’m aware this particular film’s ending is original.Ĭlick through for a preview and a sneak peek at a scene from tonight’s adaptation. Dickens’ death leaves the ending unknown, though he did provide a brief summary of the story in a letter. The Mystery of Edwin Drood is a 2012 British television adaptation of the unfinished 1870 novel by Charles Dickens, adapted with a new ending by Gwyneth Hughes, produced by Lisa Osborne, and directed by Diarmuid Lawrence. The story is a psychological thriller about provincial choirmaster John Jasper and his obsession with 17-year-old Rosa Bud, the fiancée of our titular Edwin Drood.
