Step into the gaslit shadows of Victorian Whitechapel, where the poorest of London sought escape in cramped, suffocating theaters known as penny gaffs. For a single copper coin, factory workers, street children, and women of the night gathered in these makeshift halls to watch melodramas, comic songs, and performances that respectable society condemned.
In the autumn of 1888, as terror stalked the fog-shrouded streets, five women — Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, and Mary Jane Kelly — walked these same lanes. Before they became names in history's darkest chapter, they were part of this world. They laughed at the jokes. They wept at the tragedies. They paid their pennies and watched the show.
Tonight, The Bedside Historian takes you inside the penny gaff — the architecture of escape, the performers who trod those rotting stages, and the audiences who sought wonder amid despair.
Let the fog rise. Let the candles flicker. Let history whisper you to sleep.
