4. Gaslight
Flickering lights, unexplained noises and a growing sense of dread - The Talisman Theatre in Kenilworth invites audiences into a world of deception and suspense as Patrick Hamilton's classic Victorian thriller, Gaslight, takes to the stage from Monday 2 to Saturday 7 November 2026.
Directed by Julien Rosa, this gripping psychological drama explores manipulation, trust and one woman's struggle to hold on to her sense of reality. First performed in 1938, the play gave rise to the term 'gaslighting', and its themes remain unsettlingly relevant today.
Inside the Manninghams' seemingly respectable London home, Bella is increasingly troubled. Objects disappear, strange sounds echo through the house, and the gaslights dim without explanation. As her husband Jack insists that her mind is failing, she begins to question everything she sees and hears.
But the unexpected arrival of a detective raises disturbing questions. Is Bella imagining things, or is something far more sinister unfolding beneath her own roof?
