The Story:

MYSTERY/SUSPENSE: This WORLD PREMIER of an original stage play involves the intrepid Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson as they investigate the series of murders in London’s East End in the last half of 1888. The murder victims are all women, and are linked by gruesome disfigurement by the perpetrator. The murderer has become known as Jack the Ripper because of a letter sent to Scotland Yard. He is taunting police. In a second letter, he referred to himself as ‘saucy Jacky’. But how does Irene Adler figure into this case? Is Sherlock more involved in this case than any of us would like to believe? Will the identity of Jack the Ripper be revealed or remain a mystery?
