Jack the Ripper - A Musical Play
to
Cecil Hepworth Playhouse Hepworth Way, Walton on Thames, Walton on Thames
Be prepared to laugh, scream and cry as we whisk you back to the streets of Whitechapel in this energetic musical production of 'Jack the Ripper'!
Set partly in a music hall and partly in the surrounding East End London streets and buildings, the play is a musical reconstruction of incidents relating to the East End murders which took place between August 31st and November 9th, 1888.
A solution of Jack the Ripper's identity is hinted at, but the play is an atmospheric commentary rather than an historical re-enactment, shifting between reality and artificiality, with characters representing "real" people as well as members of the music hall audience and players.
