The first successful commercial use of gas lighting occurred in the early 1800s, with widespread adoption in urban areas during the Victorian era. By the 1850s and 1860s, gas lighting had become common in many cities, used for both street lighting and residential lighting. The play “Gaslight, written by the British playwright Patrick Hamilton in 1938 takes us back to Victorian London and delves deep into the sinister mind games and psychological manipulation between a husband and his wife. In fact, the term 'gaslighting', now a common term for psychological manipulation, originates from this very play.
