Whitechapel. 1888. Between August and November a series of 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 a host of different theories.

Who was he?

What was his motive?

And how did he get away with it?


‘An Evening with Jack the Ripper’ will delve into the sordid realms of Victorian London in an attempt to finally unmask the man, with the blackest of hearts, who preyed upon the most vulnerable members of society.


Award winning producer and broadcaster Steve Morgan has captivated thousands of people on his celebrated ‘Ripper walks’ through the east-end of London, where he retraces the steps of the notorious killer through the streets he stalked.


Now he has adapted the story for the stage and invites you to spend an evening in the company of Jack the Ripper and live to tell the tale.


A BIT ABOUT STEVE MORGAN…..

A long-standing student of the crimes of Jack the Ripper and the era that spawned them. Steve’s obsession with the Whitechapel murders began in childhood and it’s one that he’s shared with thousands of others who’ve joined him for his celebrated ‘Jack the Ripper Walks’ through the east-end of London, where he’s enthralled, entranced and entertained people from all over the world.


A previous winner of Leicester Comedy Festival’s prestigious ‘Comedian of the Year’ and an award-winning producer. His career in TV and radio has seen him work alongside an eclectic mix of people such as – Michael Portillo, Noel Gallagher, Mariella Frostrup, Ian Wright, and Wolf from Gladiators (from the old series that is…..not the new one).


And now, having honed this show on the very streets where the murders took place, he invites you to join him on a voyage into the dark heart of Victorian London.

Suitable for 12 years and upwards.
