by Tony van den Bergh
with Michael Cochrane as Gordon Frederick Cummins

In 1942 war-time London was shocked by a series of vicious murders that bore all the hallmarks of a modern Jack the Ripper. This play is based on those horrific events and explores the extraordinary personality that enabled the criminal so successfully to live his different lives and to confound the law.

The Story of Bailiffscourt compiled and presented by Clive Aslet
In her love of wild flowers Lady Evelyn, a society hostess of the 1920s, may have been ahead of her time. But when she built her new country house entirely in the medieval style - with smoke-blackened ceilings and rough oak furniture - it was as if she had returned to the 14th century.
