Jack The Ripper The Musical (SOLD OUT)
The play is a musical reconstruction of incidents relating to the East End murders which took place in 1888. The name might suggest bloody bodies but there's no blood on stage, it doesn't make a joke of Jack the Ripper, the comedy is how the authorities reacted and how life on the street was for the girls. Neighbours, friends, and lovers are all suspects. Some are driven to find the truth. Others stop at nothing to obscure the facts and manipulate the situation to their own advantage. A solution of Jack the Ripper's identity is hinted at, but the musical is a commentary rather than a historical reenactment shifting between life on the street and Music Hall with characters representing real people as well as members of the musical audience and players. This show has been described as a “Lively Melodic, A Very Amusing Bawdy Knees Up, above all a Good Musical Score” by the Daily Mirror, “The Best Musical to Hit Town For Ages” by Radio London.
