Richard Mansfield, Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde & Jack The Ripper.

On Saturday the 4th of August, 1888, the actor Richard Mansfield opened at the Lyceum in London in the stage adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's shilling-shocker, Strange Case Of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Although the reviews of the play weren't exactly enthusiastic, everybody was impressed with Richard Mansfield's onstage transformation from Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and back again. Three days after the play's opening, Martha Tabram was murdered in George Yard, Whitechapel. When, on August the 31st, Mary Nichols was murdered, followed by Annie Chapman on the 8th of September, newspapers began to wonder if a real-life Mr. Hyde might be loose on the streets of London's East End. Soon, the advertisements for the play were being blamed for having inspired the Whitechapel murderer in his reign of terror, and, in early October. a correspondent actually wrote to the City of London Police to point the finger of blame at Richard Mansfield himself. In this video, we explore the public and critical response to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and tell how it was that Richard Mansfield came to be a suspect in the Jack the Ripper crimes.
