The Whitechapel Murders is a powerful new theatrical event from TheatreFusion. Striking monologues from each of the victims and the policeman in charge of the case help humanise the mystery of the Whitechapel Murders, while strong ensemble work creates an exciting docu-drama which takes the audience back in time to the dimly lit London streets.

RESPONSE “A
hit… despite its dark subject matter the play is a pleasant mix of the grim
and humorous. Well written, with good use of both live musical accompaniment
(piano and cello) and projected images… good performances with some nice
well directed set pieces… with no gruesome makeup effects or stage blood
this won't turn your stomach, but will stimulate your brain” "The
production was simply wonderful, the cast were outstanding - please, can we
have more!!" "Every
aspect, especially the strength of the cast was superb... I do hope this
version plays again - I understand there are other tiny Victorian venues all
over the UK... Don't let this production be lost - it should run and
run." "Very
professional, donation certainly value for money" "Atmosphere
stimulating... it takes a lot to beat live theatre, I wish you every success
in future productions" "Excellent
performances by all actors" "We'd
definitely recommend to friends/family... We'd like to thank the whole company
for an excellent evening, including the musicians who added to the "It
was my first time attending a play in this theatre and I was very impressed
with the production which I highly recommend. The programme was good, the
story was well told with help of visual information. I think the atmosphere of
the theatre added to the drama. Because of the seating arrangements and size
of the venue the audience were totally absorbed in the story telling and the
actors conveyed the helplessness of the characters which left the audience
sympathetic to their plight. I normally attend comedy and variety theatre
productions at the Kings but will definitely visit this theatre again" "The
acting was fantastic" "I
just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the production of The Whitechapel
Murders, the beautiful setting, the superb cast ... I loved the old fashioned
style sweets and lemonade - a really nice touch"
