Berenger an average citizen in a nameless French city is not interested in the fact that Rhinoceros appear to be on the loose in the town. In the local government office where he works he witnesses that it is the staff that are gradually turning into Rhinoceros. Rhinoceros is a captivating, critically acclaimed commentary on what is absurb about human nature. Like the abstract artists of the early twentieth century, Ionesco abstracts reality to comedic and terrifying effect. His unusual language, stylised structure and grand symbolism define the writer’s place as the premier playwright in what is known as the Theatre of the Absurb.

Trevor Marriott is a retired British Police murder squad detective, and leading Ripper expert, who since 2002 has been conducting a cold case investigation into The Whitechapel Murders of 1888 which were attributed to a fearsome killer who came to be known as Jack the Ripper. For the past 125 years this mystery has captivated the imagination of people worldwide and still does today
He has now concluded his long and protracted cold case investigation with startling results which now have completely dispelled many of the original theories which have been readily accepted as being fact for 125 years.
His ongoing investigation would disprove the accepted theory that the killer after killing some of the victims removed vital organs from their bodies at the crime scenes taking them away with him. Further investigative work would uncover secret Metropolitan Police Special Branch records never before made public in which four new suspects are named and the contents of which now eliminate a number of the “prime suspects” who have been continuously investigated over the ensuing years.
Trevor Marriott now believes that all of The Whitechapel murders were not committed by the same killer and in fact Jack the Ripper may have been nothing more than an urban myth created by sensational journalism at the time of the murders.
His one man show is packed with pictures from 1888 showing original crime scene photographs of the victims, the suspects together with many other original photographs from 1888 relative to the murders...
