GASLIGHT
Written in 1938 by Patrick Hamilton, Gaslight follows the story of a woman (Bella)
being driven slowly mad by her husband Jack Manningham. Dark secrets about Jack begin to be revealed
after the appearance of mysterious Inspector Rough. This production by the Richmond Shakespeare Society
was directed by Stella Gheury de Bray and featured a strong cast, and an excellent set, costumes and lighting
all setting an appropriate creepy mood for a story that has the ability to send shivers down anyone's spine.
The music I composed for this show had to enhance that atmosphere, and was used to set scenes and underpin
some of the dialogue where tension was required:
