Marilyn Monroe Memorial Theater
presents
Jack the Rapper
an original play by Kathi Georges
inspired by T.S. Eliot's poem
Rhapsody on a Windy Night
Jack The Rapper's coming to San Francisco and will make his first appearance at Marilyn Monroe Memorial Theater Friday, October 8 at 9pm. The original play, inspired by T.S. Eliot's poem, "Rhapsody On A Windy Night" incorporates a radical interpretation of the poem and offers the
last word on the identity and motives of Jack the Ripper.
The play twists through time, from Victorian London, through Eliot's London, through modern day London as seen through the eyes of a top
entertainment producer. Throughout the piece art and murder jockey for control, until at last they team up in modern times as the namesake character, Jack the Rapper.
