Musical preview: Jack the Ripper in Blackburn

Students from Blackburn College have stepped back in time for their latest musical production of thriller Jack the Ripper.

Based upon the true and compelling story of the 1888 murders in the East End, Blackburn College’s main hall will be transformed into a grim Victorian London for four nights only.

This production will showcase the very best musical talent that Blackburn College has to offer with staff and students’ working tirelessly to ensure the show goes on.

Performed by a cast of 13 drama students, the show links all of the College’s departments together with a cumulative effort from textiles, music, graphic design, production and the marketing departments.

Ian Clinton, Principal at Blackburn College, said: “This is set to be an excellent production and performance and has proven to be a very ‘hands on’ experience for all crew members involved.”

* Jack the Ripper is at Blackburn College from March 2 to 5. For tickets call Student Services on 01254 292929.
