Synopsis:
The show doesn't provide answers, but asks questions. It asks questions about society's treatment of the poor, about man's treatment of women, about the line that stands between good and evil, and of course it asks the question, who was Jack the Ripper?
Of the dozens of suspects who have been mooted through the years, we have provided you, the audience with five possible theories as to the killer's identity.
Will we ever know the truth about Jack the Ripper? As time goes on, it seems less likely as the boundaries between fact and fiction become more blurred. |
