About the Show

Sunday 28th September to Saturday 4th October 2025 Written Patrick Hamilton. Directed by Caryl Rapps. Matinees: Sunday 28 September and Saturday 4 October at 3 p.m. Evenings: Monday 29 September to Friday 3 October at 8 p.m. This classic Victorian thriller was first produced in 1935. Jack Manningham is slowly, deliberately, driving his wife, Bella, insane. He has almost succeeded when help arrives in the form of a former detective, Rough, who believes Manningham to be a thief and murderer. Aided by Bella, Rough proves Manningham's true identity and finally Bella achieves a few moments of sweet revenge for the suffering inflicted on her. This 1935 story is easily as relevant in 2025, although nowadays we often use the term 'gaslighting'.
