A gaslight of a thriller

 

Bella is seeing and hearing things that aren’t there. Her loving husband is concerned. Is she losing her mind, or is there something more insidious at play? In this gripping new adaptation of the famous psychological thriller Gaslight, we find a young woman desperately trying to unravel a dangerous mystery while a web of manipulation and lies forces her to doubt the relationships around her – and her own sanity! Filled with suspense and surprise, Deceived is the perfect addition to Everyman’s annual lineup of holiday mysteries. If you’ve ever wondered where the term “gaslight” came from before it was named Merriam-Webster’s word of the year in 2022, you’ve got to see this play.

Mary, a first-generation Cambodian American, grapples with feelings of guilt, anger, and grief as she navigates her parents' experiences and their differing beliefs as survivors of the Khmer Rouge – the radical communist movement that ruled Cambodia in the late 1970s. Their journey to reconcile the past is both painful and liberating as they find a path toward healing.
