In Blood by The Professor
THE PROFESSOR RETURNS!
London – December, 1888
The great classical actor Henry Irving opens a new production of ‘Macbeth’ to great acclaim. Audiences shaken by shocking accounts of the savage murders committed by Jack the Ripper are now mesmerized by the figure Irving presents on stage, a man obsessed by murder and blood. He becomes the embodiment of their terrors.
In a letter to his great friend, collaborator, and personal manager Bram Stoker, Irving makes a stunning revelation about the part he has played in the Ripper’s most recent and most horrific murder…
With IN BLOOD The Professor boldly reimagines the murder of Mary Kelly, taking the horror of it to a new level and possibly shedding new light not only on the crime itself but on the crucial part it might have played in the genesis of one of the most influential horror novels of all time.
