Gaslight at PURE

A locked attic. Footsteps in the dead of night. A gaslight that flickers just long enough to make you doubt your own eyes. As Bella’s marriage to Jack turns from dream to trap, she is pulled into a terrifying spiral of manipulation and menace in this Victorian thriller that inspired 2022’s word of the year: “gaslight.” See the exciting play, by Steven Dietz and directed by Rodney Lee Rogers at PURE Theatre.
Weekends through March 28. Show times vary. Tickets start at $43. PURE Theatre. 134 Cannon St. puretheatre.org/gaslight
