WHITECHAPEL FREAKS // 19 MAY

committed by Saucy Jack!
Why not seek respite from
the horrors of Whitechapel
by spending the evening
inside Tabram's Music Hall?
Fairy Fay guarantees a
ripping time will be shared
by one and all... A macabre
cabaret of Victorian songs,
weird skits and disturbing
vignettes wherein you will
meet a miscellany of
suspects in unfamiliar
guises. But, which one is the
Ripper?
