GLENVIEW, Ill.—She loses her grocery bill, misplaces jewelry, removes pictures from a wall, but forgets she did so. It’s apparent that she’s hiding things but then forgets having done so. She hears someone or something moving about in the long-sealed, supposedly empty attic. She sees the gas lights turning on and off in the middle of the night while there’s no one in the house. She hears strange noises that no one else can hear. Is she losing her mind, or is something more sinister going on?

That is the question that permeates “Gaslight (Angel Street),” the psychological thriller now in a suspenseful revival at the Oil Lamp Theater in Glenview, Illinois.
