Description

Dear Boss: A Fortean Investigation of Jack the Ripper explores the culture of madness and paranoia that seized Whitechapel in the autumn of 1888. It is a murder mystery and a romantic horror story for three actors and thirty puppets, which tells of an imagined investigation of the Ripper Murders by the American chronicler of the Unexplained, Charles Fort—a famous researcher of such phenomena as spontaneous combustion, raining fish and frogs, ghosts and flying saucers—and his assistant, The Elephant Man.

About the author

Eric Woolfe is an actor and director. His latest play, Dear Boss is about Jack the Ripper and opens in Toronto this season. He began his career as an actor, and, as a result of frequent unemployment, branched out into puppeteering and playwriting in 1998. He is also furiously at work on Madhouse Variations, a trilogy of short horror plays adapted from writers who are smarter than he is.
