Young, trusting, and fragile – Bella Manningham thinks she’s losing her mind. In the
evenings, she hears strange noises. The sitting-room gas lamps dim for no
apparent reason. Is Bella’s loving relationship with her partner Jack all
that it seems?
Starring Geraldine Hakewill, star of Ms Fisher’s Modern Murder Mysteries, Toby
Schmitz from Boy Swallows Universe and Kate
Fitzpatrick, legend of stage and screen, this new psychological thriller
will keep you guessing.
Patrick Hamilton’s 1938 play
introduced us to the powerful term we now use to describe an insidious form of
deception and manipulation.
This liberating adaptation by
Johnna Wright and Patty Jamieson, which world premiered at the 2022 Shaw
Festival, is a gripping, reimagined thriller of daring and
doubt. Will the “gaslighting” have its intended dire effect, or will
our heroine find the strength to save herself?
With all the hallmarks of
Victorian Gothic, refreshed with intriguing new insights, GASLIGHT is a
thrilling theatrical experience.
