Classic play Gaslight to be staged in Swindon this March

Gaslight, written by Patrick Hamilton, will be staged at the Arts Centre by the Western Players from March 11 to 15.

Recognised for its atmospheric, tense, and emotional narrative, the play explores the origin of the popular term 'gaslighting.'

Set in an eerie Victorian household, the storyline revolves around Mr Manningham's growing irritation with his wife's fragile state of mind and persistent forgetfulness, alongside strange happenings around the house.

These mysterious occurrences set the stage for ex-Inspector Rough’s detective work to solve the unsettling happenings in the attic.

The production, first staged in 1938, inspired not one, but two film adaptations.

Tickets can be purchased online at the Western Players' website, by email, or by calling or texting 07575 711522.
