The Millgarth Incident Room is the epicentre of the biggest manhunt in British history, for one of the most notorious serial killers: the Yorkshire Ripper. With public and political pressure mounting, hundreds of officers must work around the clock to end one man's reign of terror in this gripping retelling of true events. "an intense and thought-provoking look into the police investigation into the crimes of the Yorkshire Ripper" FIVE STARS North West End Olivia Hirst and David Byrne's 'beautifully crafted' (The Guardian) play goes behind the scenes to investigate the case that nearly broke the British police force. OLD FRUIT JAR PRODUCTIONS return to the Studio at The Royal Court, after their sell-out run of Twelfth Night, to present a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of a pivotal moment in British history. THE INCIDENT ROOM explores the wider issues of misogyny and institutional negligence that surrounded the case, both at the time and in the present day.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
