Yours Truly, Jack the Ripper

Everyone has heard of Jack the Ripper. Nearly everyone knows that he terrorised London in 1888. His name even echoes today in the TV dramas Whitechapel and Ripper Street. As this terrible episode of history continues to drip into the present, do we really know what happened? Yours Truly, Jack the Ripper paints a vivid portrait of the life Londoners led during the days of invincible empire and the dreadful social conditions that lurked within inches of all the pomp and glory. The play tells of the often over-looked victims. We know the end of their story, but do we know the rest? The music of the era is woven throughout the piece and we are brought face to face with: The facts The terror The witnesses The victims The police The truth … at last! 'A truly remarkable piece of drama ... intriguing and thought-provoking.' Surrey Review 'This was like watching a 19th century episode of TV's 24, offering evocative descriptions with deep intensity.' Edinburgh Evening News 'It's not often that I am fascinated by a production but this one is not only well-performed but informative.' Scot FM Radio Yours Truly, Jack the Ripper, a play by Patrick Prior. Performed by Pat Abernethy and Dave Marsden. Directed by Jim Dunk. Please note that tickets are free, but places must be booked in advance.
