THIS SHOW IS ALSO BEING PERFORMED AT THE MINACK THEATRE IN CORNWALL, FROM 24TH TO 28TH AUGUST. GO TO www.minack.com TO BOOK TCKETS.

A music hall comdy of the scary tale of the legendary killer who terrorized London in the 1880s.

Set partly in a music hall and partly in the surrounding East End streets and buildings, the play is a musical reconstruction of incidents relating to the murders that took place in 1888. A solution to Jack the Ripper’s identity is hinted at, but this is an atmospheric commentary rather than historical re-enactment. Shifting between reality and artificiality, with characters from the Victorian music hall and ‘real’ people.
