Theatre Royal Brighton: Gaslight

Be the first to see this gripping play prior to London’s West End when one of the greatest thrillers of all time, Gaslight, heads to the Theatre Royal Brighton

Gaslight is written by Patrick Hamilton, one of the 20th century’s most renowned British writers, and stars the highly acclaimed stage and television actress Kara Tointon (The Halcyon, Mr Selfridge, The Sound of Music Live!). Kara is joined by BBC Merlin’s Rupert Young and Keith Allen direct from the critically acclaimed West End production of Harold Pinter’s The Homecoming.

The play tells a chilling tale: while Jack Manningham is on the town each evening his wife Bella is home alone. She can’t explain the disappearance of familiar objects, the mysterious footsteps overhead or the ghostly flickering of living room gaslight – is she losing her mind? Does the terror exist in her imagination or are dark secrets living in her home? The surprise arrival of retired Detective Rough leads to a shocking discovery that will shake her respectable Victorian marriage to its core.

Gaslight is directed by Anthony Banks whose credits include Patrick Marber’s After Miss Julie, which visited the Theatre Royal Brighton in July last year. Anthony was an associate director at the National Theatre until 2014 where he commissioned and developed one hundred new plays for NT Connections.
