Description

London in the 1880s was a city of stark contrasts. For two childhood friends, reunion would be a complicated affair. Dot Allbones, star of London's music halls, had found success and fame, while her friend Kate Eddowes struggled to make ends meet. Their paths crossed outside the Griffin theatre in Shoreditch, a blast from the past that brought with it a mix of emotions. The summer of 1880 was one of unspeakable horror in Whitechapel. The streets were home to those who lived on the margins, and Kate Eddowes had become infamous for all the wrong reasons. Saucy Jack was sharpening his knife, leaving a trail of death and destruction in his wake. This is Dot's story, told with her characteristic wit and humour. A tale of two women, two lives, set against the backdrop of one of London's most notorious periods.
