Synopsis:
Set in Victorian East London, Whitechapel tells the story of loves and lovers and mis-matched partners.
With a host of divinely decadent characters, it plots the story of a passionate love affair between the impoverished yet beautiful Annie, and Eddie, a man with very royal connections.
|
Their dreams for the future are shattered by the prejudice, sacrifice and pain they endure as the dark wheels of the Victorian Establishment are turning and
will stop at nothing short of crushing them.From the streets of London’s East End to the shores
of Southern France, Whitechapel takes us on a
musical journey within a score of haunting
melodic ballads, music-hall song and big chorus
numbers. Original orchestrations and a thrilling
score make this one of the most exciting musical
projects to emerge in recent years.
