The Ripper in question here is Jack, not ‘The Yorkshire’ - and as this ‘spine-tingling whodunnit’ has been making its way around the country, it’s been met with mixed reviews.  

The ‘action’ - taking place some 13 years after Jack’s ‘autumn of terror’ in Victorian-era Whitechapel - finds two policemen and a music-hall star touring a show in which they revisit the Ripper murders for audiences still fascinated by the macabre killings... 

There’s certainly plenty to admire here, but critics have complained that there’s way too much exposition - and maybe a little less drama than a theatre production focusing on Jack the Ripper should provide.
