Performances now run through Sept. 14, 2025, only! Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre Conrad Prebys Theatre Center West Coast premiere By Johnna Wright and Patty Jamieson Adapted from "Gaslight" by Patrick Hamilton Directed by Delicia Turner Sonnenberg "Deceived," based on the classic play "Gaslight," is a psychological thriller that will enthrall Globe audiences, as did 2022’s smash hit "Dial M The for Murder." Bella Manningham’s new husband seems the doting partner, but when she sees the gaslights dim and he claims they have not, she begins to suspect the strange occurrences aren’t just in her head. Johnna Wright and Patty Jamieson’s exhilarating new adaptation of the beloved mystery, directed by Globe Resident Artist Delicia Turner Sonnenberg (The Old Globe’s "Trouble in Mind," "Skeleton Crew"), blows the dust off a classic, and is “a very satisfying piece of theatrical reinvention” (Toronto Star).
