Deceived opens the 2026 season at Dorset Theatre Festival with a chilling adaptation of the classic thriller Gaslight by Johnna Wright and Patty Jamieson. Set in fog-bound 1901 London, the play follows a young bride who begins to question her reality as her devoted husband insists her suspicions are merely products of her imagination. As the psychological tension escalates, she must uncover the truth before her sanity slips away. Directed by Jackson Gay, this gripping drama promises shocking twists and a powerful exploration of trust and perception.
