Breffni players return at The Dock with an unforgettable performance

The Breffni Players return to The Dock for four nights with the classic Gaslight thriller.

The play is bound to be another sell-out show for the ever-popular Breffni Players and is running from November 28 to December 01 at 8pm. 

‘Gaslight’ is a 1938 thriller play set in 1880s London, written by the British novelist and playwright Patrick Hamilton. 

It was remade as a film of the same name in 1940 – which many people will be familiar with.

Hamilton’s play is a dark tale of a marriage based on deceit and trickery and a husband committed to driving his wife insane to steal from her.

The play is set in fog-bound London in 1880, at the upper-middle-class home of Jack Manningham and his wife, Bella. 

Bella’s story is about a woman slowly losing her grip on reality as her husband tries to convince her that she is insane. Help arrives in the form of retired detective Rough, who convinces Bella that all may not be what it seems.

Directed by Noel O’Callaghan, Gaslight is bound to sell out fast, so it is best to book your tickets early. 

The Breffni Players continue to celebrate their 80th year with a production of the psychological thriller Gaslight by Patrick Hamilton.
