Red Thread Theatre to Present Intimate Ghost Story THE UNFORTUNATES

When Mary Jane Kelly seeks refuge in the Ten Bells on a cold November night, she's behind in her rent, her window is broken, she has lost her key, and she's alone. It's 1888-not a good time to be poor and "unfortunate" on the streets of London. Somewhere out there in the foggy shadows, one of the world's most notorious criminals is at work.

"It is an intimate ghost story about survival, celebrity, violence, and friendship" says multi award-winning playwright Aoise Stratford whose work has been produced world-wide.

Directed by Josephine Hogan, THE UNFORTUNATES features Kelly Meg Brennan as Mary Jane Kelly.

The play opens on Thursday, October 27 at 8:00 p.m., with performances following on October 28, 29, 30, 31, and November 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12 at 8:00 p.m. All performances take place at the Jim Bush Studios, an urban space that operates as a unique site-specific venue for exciting theatre, located at 44 17th Street, Buffalo. Street parking is available on 17th and Richmond Avenue.
