In London in 1888, a bold young woman reporter desperate to make a name for herself starts tracking gruesome murders. When she finds herself face to face with the killer, they begin a deadly game of cat and mouse. Wickedly playful and deliciously terrifying, Ripper asks how far you would go for the story of the century. Ripper is a re-telling of the horrifying true crime and the media sensation that made Jack The Ripper a household name. This play is built on an unusual but possible interpretation of the real historical facts, and as such, the play is ostensibly the basis for a new theory.
A new play by New York-based playwright Jacob Marx Rice, Ripper debuted at the Courtyard, London in 2023 with Prudencia Productions – director Victoria Hadel’s female-led company specialising in new writing. The show will preview in 2024 again at the Courtyard and play the Cockpit as part of Camden Fringe before moving to Edinburgh. Hadel returns as director with Griffin Jenkins, who is again producing.
