The story of the Manninghams, who live on Angel
Street in 19th century London. As the curtain
rises, all appears to be the essence of Victorian
tranquility. It is soon apparent, however, that Mr.
Manningham, a suavely handsome man, is slowly
driving his gentle, devoted wife, Bella, to the brink
of insanity with an insinuating kindness that
masks more sinister motives. While he is out,
Mrs. Manningham is visited by amiable, paternal
Inspector Rough from Scotland Yard. Rough is
convinced that Mr. Manningham is a homicidal
maniac wanted for a murder committed fifteen
years earlier in this very house. Gradually, the
inspector restores Bella’s confidence in herself
and, as the evidence against Manningham
unfolds, building and sustaining some of the most
brilliant, suspenseful sequences in modern
theatre. Better known as Gaslight.
