GASLIGHT
spacer

Peter Gill directs a cast, including Rosamund Pike, Kenneth Cranham and Andrew Woodall, in Gaslight, the powerful story of a young woman psychologically dominated by her husband.

While Jack Manningham is out on the town each evening, his wife, Bella, stays at home alone, believing she's losing her mind: she can't explain the disappearance of familiar objects, the mysterious footsteps overhead or the ghostly flickering of living room gaslights. However, questions about Jack's behaviour and true identity are aroused following the unexpected arrival of Detective Rough.

Gaslight was first staged in 1938 and won Ingrid Bergman an Oscar for her role in the film version. As well as his other great play, Rope (filmed by Hitchock), Patrick Hamilton wrote novels, including Hangover Square and Twenty Thousand Streets Under the Sky.
