On the 29th of September 1888, Scotland Yard received a gruesome letter written in red. “Dear boss,” it began. What followed was a gruesome account of a murderer’s plan. A notorious figure who has never been caught. A figure known only by his signature… “Yours truly, Jack the Ripper.”

Step into that night as a citizen of Victorian Whitechapel. The streets you walk are haunted by an unseen man, the people consumed by fear and hysteria.

After a sell-out run in November 2016, Whitechapel: Suspects, Lunatics and a Leather Apron is back for its second and final run. 

In this experience, you will take on the role of one of the following: 

- A member of H-Division’s finest, the police force tasked with catching the killer. The press have made you a joke, the people of Whitechapel hate you, and the killer taunts you from the shadows. It is your job to restore order. 

- A member of the Whitechapel Vigilance Committee, the protectors of the streets. Led by their incendiary leader, they do what the police will not. The only questions is, how far are you willing to go? 

- An impoverished citizen of Whitechapel, one of the many souls doing what they must to survive these dangerous streets. Remember though, Whitechapel can be a prosperous place. If you’re not afraid to get your hands dirty, you could rule this town…

Walk the streets of Victorian London and explore the lives of Whitechapel's residents in a time of mistrust, strife, and a full-blown media frenzy. Interact with key characters from the time, have a gin at the Ten Bells, or confess your sins at St Botolph's. This production is an hour and a half immersive theatrical experience. Every action and choice you make shapes the world around you.

But, be careful, everyone is a suspect in 1888…



16+ only. 

Guests may be ID'd at the door, anyone without a valid ID stating age may be refused entry with tickets non-refundable.

Tickets must be bought in advance.  

Directions to venue from Whitechapel Underground: Turn right out of the station onto Whitechapel Road. Cross through the pedestrian lights and turn left along Whitechapel Road. Walk approximately three minutes before turning right onto Sidney Street (there is a Barclays bank on the corner). Continue south down Sidney Street until you reach 1888 Sidney Street. The door to the production is opposite to the entrance of Lindley Street. If you reach Stepney Way, you've gone too far. 

*This is an immersive show based on the people of Whitechapel in 1888 and the events that happened on the 29th of September, not the unknown assailant who committed these horrific acts.
