Gaslight will be in previews March 13 through March 18 and March 20, opens on March 21 and runs through April 29. Gaslight is the suspenseful tale of Mr. and Mrs. Manningham of London. Manningham has made hurtful accusations and Bella feels everyone is against her. After Manningham leaves abruptly, Bella is visited by a stranger named Rough. He astonishes her with his explanation of the mysterious dimming of the gaslights in her home.
Time is short.
Director Malcolm Black will stage Gaslight, his 17th Walnut production. And because the villain is usually vanquished in the end, our sense of justice is appeased. Collaborating with Black will be Set Designer Paul Wonsek, Costume Designer Hilary Corbett, Lighting Designer Jerold R. Forsythe and Sound Designer Scott Smith. The production will feature original music by Laura Burton. Last season, Burton's music created the perfect ambience for Black's staging of The Heiress.
