Described by Co-Founder Azmeh Malik as a true passion project, Gaslight Company is dedicated to showcasing the timeless power of theatre.
With a focus on the highest quality of productions and a roster of talented actors, the ambitious production company can succeed in facilitating the growing community of theatre lovers and an endless number of entertainment seekers in Karachi. They seek to create spaces of drama, laughter and adventure that break conventions, take risks and ultimately inspire audiences.
For their debut production, Co-Founders and lead directors Azmeh Malik and Asfandyar Khan are presenting Agatha Christie’s ‘The Mousetrap’ – a seminal production in the history of theatre, with 27874 performances and counting since it opened in London’s West End in the early 50’s.
These are record breaking numbers: it is the longest running play in the history of theatre, illustrating the timelessness of the classic murder mystery and the genius of a playwright that played her part in inventing the genre. It is a welcome challenge for Gaslight Company, and they’ve put all the pieces in place to make this a fantastic showcase of theatre in Karachi.

The show will take place at the Arts Council of Pakistan, Karachi – a non-profit, non-commercial organisation wholly devoted to promoting arts and culture in the country. All proceeds from the production will go to UJALA, a non-profit charity organisation that provides platforms and sponsorship to special children for education, creative learning and activities. They believe in a holistic education experience for children and provide aid through teaching, healthcare and transportation.
Join Gaslight Production’s debut play for what promises to be an amazing, high quality show with a final twist you don’t want to miss! Tickets are available at the gate!
