Rumpus Theatre Company presents a spine-tingling whodunnit... THE RIPPER FILES!
Based on the world’s most famous case. Inspector Lestrange is up to his neck in evidence but there’s one fact only the Ripper himself will know...
CHARLES WILLIAM LESTRANGE was a newly promoted Detective Inspector in the Metropolitan Police, just transferred to H Division in Whitechapel, when THE AUTUMN OF TERROR, as it came to be known, reached its grizzly height.
Now, thirteen years later, and ably assisted by SAMUEL EDWARDS, formerly Detective Constable Edwards of H Division, and Samuel Edward’s “close friend” Miss ELSIE FORDHAM, rising star of the music hall stage, Lestrange rehearses again for your delectation and delight the ghoulish events in Victorian Whitechapel which have been a source of universal fascination since the 1880’s...
... anyone wishing to leave the auditorium during the performance as a consequence of excessive fright or terror is respectfully requested not to do so in the middle of a "murder"!
Reviews:
“magnificent ... this unusual who-dunnit gripped like steel ... I literally jumped out of my seat” (Thanet Gazette)
"fun, but not for the faint-hearted ... the first night audience was engrossed" (Derbyshire Times)
“an unexpectedly chilling climax finished off a fine piece of theatre” (TheLatest.co.uk)
“a rumbustious and highly enjoyable production ... a darkly comic little masterpiece ... highly recommended” (Migrant Press)
