Gas Light - Creating Intrigue and Tension in the first 20 Pages 

Gas Light has become a common word. It originates from a play written by Patrick Hamilton in 1938 about couple living in a dark and dreary Victorian house. Mr. Jack Manningham is continually pushing and manipulating his wife Bella Manningham to the point where she believes she is crazy.
In this video I read through the first 20 pages to take a look at the dialogue and see how Hamilton does it. For all plays the dialogue is king. It must carry the story, develop the characters, logically connect, and interest the audience. We'll take a look to see how the play does works and creates a eerie atmosphere of tension.
