The lights go down…the truth comes out!

Jonathan Shortall writes:

Set against the backdrop of Victorian London in the late 19th century, Gaslight [from the 1938 Patrick Hamilton play Gas Light and its 1940 and 1944 film adaptatiotns] ells the tale of Bella Manningham: a gentle, devoted wife who believes that she is slowly going mad.

Each night, as her husband leaves the house to attend to business, she hears strange noises in the attic…

Gaslight is a gripping tale of suspense, thrills and the pursuit of truth!

Starring Declan Ryan, Elizabeth Ann Doyle, Helen McGrath, Philip Arneill and Siobhan Hickey.
