Bella Manningham thinks she might be going crazy. In the evenings, she hears strange sounds and the gas lights dim for no apparent reason. But is she losing her grip on reason, or is it being loosened for her? Patrick Hamilton’s 1938 play gave us the word we now use for an insidious form of mental abuse. Gaslight is a gripping thriller: will the gaslight have its intended, murderous, effect? Gaslight is directed by Ben Tyler. Gaslight is presented through Special Arrangement with Concord Theatricals.
Gaslight will play Oct. 14- 30, 2022.
Auditions will be held Saturday, Aug 27 @ 12:00pm and Sunday, Aug 28 @ 6:00pm. Callbacks (If required) Tuesday, Aug 30 @ 7:00pm. Auditioners will be asked to present a short monologue and should be prepared to read cold from the script. Early video auditions - which must be submitted prior to Aug 27 – may be submitted and can substitute for appearing at the Saturday or Sunday auditions. However, if chosen from a video audition, candidates will be required to appear in person at the callbacks. Video auditions should be sent to peter@fhtaz.org. FHT prefers and encourages auditioners to be vaccinated.
Actors should consider roles if they feel they can represent the age ranges listed. All roles are open to all ethnicities.
Casting for:
Jack Manningham: A handsome, well-dressed man of forty-five, Jack’s complete authority over and manipulation of his wife drives her down the road to insanity. There is mystery below the surface and feigned bitterness towards having to put up with his wife’s “condition.”
Bella Manningham: Younger than her husband, Bella is in her mid-thirties. They have been married five years and in that time she has denigrated into a pallid, frightened, and exhausted woman. Every night her husband goes out, leaving her alone in their large house, where sights and sounds fill her mind with fear and impending insanity.
Elizabeth: In her early fifties, Elizabeth is a kind and dutiful servant in the Manningham home.
Nancy: Attractive, impudent, and conniving, Nancy is a serving girl of eighteen in the Manningham home.
Inspector Rough: A friendly and impelling middle-aged man, Inspector Rough comes to the aid of Mrs.
Manningham by revealing secrets and mysteries of years past. He, too, has an air of secrecy about him, as he puts the pieces together of the Manningham puzzle.
