A New Vic production
by Patrick Hamilton, directed by Sarah Punshon
A nervous wife, an anxious husband, a haunting husband. This chillingly irresistible thriller is a classic of theatre. A West End sensation – even King George and Queen Elizabeth insisted on seeing it – and the longest running British play in Broadway history.
Bella Manningham is slowly losing her mind. Her gloomy home has become a prison. Each night, she sits alone, dreading the sound of footsteps from locked and empty rooms, waiting for the gaslight to dim.
Then, late one evening, a stranger arrives with a terrifying story to tell. But can he be trusted? Is he really here to help? Or is she truly going mad?
