Gas Light
MARCH 2024
Our performance of Gas Light was a captivating departure from our usual repertoire. Set in 1880s London, this intense and gripping drama, weaves a dark story of a marriage built on lies and manipulation. The play follows a husband’s sinister plot to drive his wife to madness, all in an effort to steal from her. A chilling exploration of psychological control and deceit, Gas Light kept audiences on the edge of their seats from start to finish.
