In the spirit of the season, the Lake Fannin Wilderness Park is proud to present another murder mystery theatre production. Angel Street, the three-act thriller by Patrick Hamilton, was first presented in London in 1938, under the name Gaslight – the name Hollywood used when it produced the movie, starring screen legends Ingrid Bergman, Charles Boyer, Joseph Cotton and a teenaged Angela Lansbury.
Under the direction of Cheryl Youree, the characters are Bella Manningham, a distraught woman who is apparently losing her mind (played by Allison Cardile); her husband Jack Manningham, whose smooth exterior barely disguises his dark intentions (played by Cliff Harjo); Detective Rough, the gregarious policeman, whose hunch leads him to the Manningham household (played by Karl Riemer); Nancy, the young maid who beguiles Manningham (played by Caroline Todd); and Elizabeth, the cook, who is trying to help her mistress hold onto her courage, her sanity and her life (played by Lisa Avila).
