Have you ever wondered where the term 'gaslighting' comes from? Find out in this dark reimagining of the classic 1938 stage thriller by Patrick Hamilton.
Jonathan Holloway's modern adaptation is set in the present, with a deliciously vintage feel.
Jack Manningham has used his wife’s recently inherited money to buy a huge period property - a former bell foundry - which they will renovate. They occupy a small habitable part of the ground floor and basement. This previously neglected ramshackle building is lit by gas, as it was in Victorian times.
In this final episode, masks come off at midnight as the gaslights cast their shadows.
