Whitechapel. 1888. Between August and November five women are brutally murdered. The identity of the killer remains a mystery. Until now…..?
It’s the greatest unsolved case in criminal history. One that continues to confuse and confound. Generating argument, debate and intense discussion.
Who was he?
What was his motive?
And how did he get away with it?
Was he a doctor, a sailor, a soldier or some kind of religious zealot intent on ridding the streets of the east-end of vice?
‘An Evening with Jack the Ripper’ will address all of these questions and more as it presents a raft of damning evidence in its quest to solve the world’s most elusive mystery. An evening not for those of a nervous disposition. Dare you venture into the sordid realms of Victorian society to recall the lives of the victims and revisit the fiend’s savage haunts?
A condemnation of the man with the blackest of hearts who preyed upon the most vulnerable members of society.
