What a beautiful play. "Ghosts of Whitechapel" follows the five victims of Jack the Ripper as they tell their stories - without ever saying his name. It is moving and haunting and empowering as well, as these women reclaim their lives and their stories. Such lovely work!

Kate's writing is fresh, action packed, and manages to really fuse the personal and political. An inventive concept crescendos to a surprising and very satisfying ending. This may appear to be a period piece but it is alive as hell. If you're looking for a play about intersectional feminism, crime dramas, and ghosts, look no further. Murder mystery podcast enthusiasts, get on this.

For whatever reason, we are pretty obsessed with serial killers. Making a Murderer's massive success broadcasts this fact loud and clear. That's one of reasons why this play is so refreshing. It dares to take the focus away from Jack the Ripper and instead aim its sights onto the eponymous ghosts, giving those women a voice, and in a way, their lives back. It's a sometimes surprisingly funny and consistently empowering script that you should read now.
