Stages’ World Premiere of a New Classic Reframes Jack the Ripper

Houstonia’s The Must List tells you about something going on in Houston that you absolutely cannot miss.

The best comedy requires two major ingredients: truth and timing. Laughter delivers catharsis. Laughter makes us fall in love with what we’re viewing. It makes us gasp and scream from the audience when we believe the characters we’ve grown attached to are in mortal danger. Because truth and timing are also essential to thrillers. Stages’ world premiere production of Let. Her. Rip. painstakingly balances high comedy with high horror, crafting a show that belongs in the annals of modern theatrical classics.
