Last night, during the question and answer session after Robin Odell's excellent talk at the Whitechapel Society meeting, Donald Rumbelow said that he believed that a play had been performed somewhere in London in Feb 1889 entitled 'The Death of Mary Kelly' which may have had as props the actual furniture from Mary Kelly's room. I spoke to him afterwards and he said that he would welcome any further information on this.

Wasn't that the play which was pulled after one performance, because the leading lady kept corpsing on stage?

Is this a joke or isn't it?
I suspect the former but what fun if the latter.
