If you’ve ever wondered where the term ‘gaslighting’, the Miriam-Webster Dictionary’s Word of the Year in 2022, came from, this play is the answer!

Jack and Bella Manningham have taken a four-storey house in London in the latter part of the nineteenth century. Jack is a man-about-town, often leaving Bella alone in the house in the evenings. While alone, she thinks she sees and hears things that frighten her – is her mind playing tricks on her, or is it something altogether more sinister? And who is the strange man who appears with disturbing tales of the house and its past?

A classic Victorian thriller, it was first produced in London in 1938 and subsequently on Broadway in 1941, under the title ‘Angel Street’, and was a great success on both sides of the Atlantic. It was also filmed in this country in 1940 and in the USA in 1944, an Oscar-winning version starring Ingrid Bergman, Angela Lansbury and Dame May Whitty.
