Angel Street

Olney Theatre Center
2001 Olney-Sandy Spring Rd. Olney

This Victorian thriller focuses on a seemingly normal couple, the Manninghams. Is the handsome Jack Manningham a caring husband - or is he discreetly trying to drive his young wife Bella into insanity under the guise of kindness? It takes an extraordinarily dedicated Scotland Yard detective, the aptly named Inspector Rough, to unravel this delightfully twisted thriller. Angel Street last thrilled audiences at Olney Theatre Center in 1950.

"...The sturdy staging by longtime Olney Associate Artistic Director John Going has the essential ingredients for the souffle lined up: a script that measures out equal doses of mystery, psychology, sin and criminality, and actors and designers who understand the material and tackle it straight on, with no spoofery."

"...A delightfully twisted suspenseful drama lights up the stage at Olney Theatre Center this summer as they present the classic Victorian thriller Angel Street. Directed by John Going, this sharply focused play is a fitting production for continuing in the theatre's 75th Anniversary season as the play was written in the same year that Olney Theatre Center was opened."

Angel Street (titled Gaslight when English audiences first saw it) is a 1938 suspense thriller. The lovingly rendered production at Olney Theatre Center demonstrates why it was successful both as a Broadway play and a motion picture.
