About this event
“Gaslight” - Based on the 1944 American psychological thriller film directed by George Cukor and adapted for radio by Lux Radio Theater in 1946, “Gaslight” follows a young woman whose husband slowly manipulates her into believing that she is descending into insanity. The film popularized the now-common term for mental manipulation. The story follows Paula Alquist, who returns to her childhood home years after her aunt's unsolved murder, accompanied by her charming new husband, Gregory Anton. Once settled, Paula begins to experience strange occurrences, such as the mysterious dimming of the house's gaslights and the sound of footsteps in the boarded-up attic, but Gregory insists these are merely figments of her imagination. In reality, Gregory is systematically orchestrating these events to make Paula doubt her sanity, all as a cover for his own sinister search for hidden jewels. Click here to purchase tickets
