Before Jack the Ripper, there was Charlie Peace: the most infamous villain in Victorian England. Michael Eaton's inventive and colourful play sees Charlie through the eyes of a raucous vaudeville entertainment, including original music by Paul Barker and newly unearthed historical material.
Recounting and re-examining how a philanderer, murderer and master of disguise came to fascinate and enthrall the public before and after death – this is a truly villainous Victorian vaudeville.
Performances take place in the Webber Douglas Studio
13, 14, 15 February, 2.00pm and 7.00pm each day
