Hyde Park’s James Peter Sparling is “Detective Sgt. Rough” in the upcoming production of Gaslight (Angel Street), Oct. 2 - Nov. 2, at Oil Lamp Theater, 1723 Glenview Road. Gaslight is written by Patrick Hamilton and directed by Susan Gorman.

The audience is invited to step into the suspenseful world of Gaslight (Angel Street), where secrets lurk in the shadows and reality blurs with deception. When Bella begins to suspect that the flickering lights and missing objects in her home aren’t just in her imagination, her world unravels into a chilling game of manipulation and control. This thriller that premiered in 1938 is where the term “gaslighting” originated.
