About the Show:
Set in foggy 19th-century London, Angel Street tells the story of Bella Manningham, a woman tormented by her husband’s subtle manipulations—made to believe she’s losing her mind. But when a sharp-witted detective enters their lives, long-buried secrets begin to surface, and Bella must decide what’s real… and what’s madness.

- Mr. Jack Manningham – Charming on the surface, sinister underneath; calculating and dangerous.
- Mrs. Bella Manningham – Sensitive, intelligent, and emotionally unraveling under pressure.
- Inspector Rough – A clever and determined detective with a sharp tongue and a compassionate streak.
- Elizabeth – The loyal, mature housekeeper who quietly watches everything unfold.
- Nancy – Young, bold, and flirtatious maid with ambition and attitude.
