Henderson Hall, Abbots Langley, Herts

Directed by Rob Milner
Musical Direction by Peter Jones
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. Book and Lyrics by Ron Pember and Denis de Marne; Music by Ron Pember
