The Ripper Files
Drama Rumpus Theatre Company presents by John Goodrum – The HaymarketInspector 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 grisly height.
Now, thirteen years later, and ably assisted by Samuel Edwards, formerly Detective Constable Edwards of H Division, and his close friend Miss Elsie Fordham, rising star of the music hall stage, Le Strange rehearses again, for your delectation and delight, the ghoulish events in Victorian Whitechapel which have been a source of universal fascination since the 1880s.
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!
