The production team is the same as the one behind last year's musical Sister Act, which won two NODA (National Operatic and Dramatic Association) awards - for best musical and best production.

The Stevenage Lytton Players aim to bring their own interpretation to the chilling tale of love, revenge and the dark underbelly of Victorian London.

Details on ticket availability and pricing will be announced in the coming weeks at www.lyttonplayers.co.uk.
