Season: 13 to 29 March 2026

OPENING WEEKEND CANCELLED:

Due to a medical emergency for one of the play's lead actors, we are unable to go forward with opening this Friday. We are deeply sorry about this, but due to the role size having a substitute actor in at such a late stage will not result in a satisfactory show for our audience.

Remaining performance dates are as follows:
Friday, March 20th at 7:30pm
Saturday, March 21st at 7:30pm
Sunday, March 22nd at 2:00pm
Friday, March 27th at 7:30pm
Saturday, March 28th at 7:30pm
We are also attempting to add a performance on Sunday, March 29th at 2:00pm but this is still subject to confirmation.



About the play:
This classic Victorian thriller, first produced in 1935, remains a gripping psychological drama almost 100 years later.

Set in the shadowy confines of a London townhouse, the play follows Jack and Bella Manningham, a seemingly respectable couple whose elegant home hides a chilling secret. Behind closed doors, Jack is slowly and methodically manipulating his wife, convincing her that she is losing her mind. His cruel mind games leave Bella terrified and doubting her own sanity.

Just as her world seems on the brink of collapse, salvation arrives in the unexpected form of Rough, a retired detective who suspects that Manningham is not the man he claims to be. Rough reveals a dark history of crime, deception, and murder, setting in motion a tense and suspenseful battle of wits. With courage and cunning, Bella finds the strength to confront the truth and reclaim her sanity. In a satisfying turn of justice, she helps expose her husband's true identity and finally savours a moment of triumphant revenge for all the torment she has endured.
