As suspicion grows, so do the sex bonds between the most unlikely of characters. But not all characters are what they seem. If the circus is to continue, a murderer must be stopped.

    There is always a secret, no one should ever know, but if a person digs hard enough they will find it. Rather it is a baby farmer who is rumored to have killed over 400 children, a man who decided to control women and bending them to his own sadistic desires, or a woman who rapes, mutilates, and kills girls with her husband. Not all the skeletons in Britain’s closet are as well known as Jack the Ripper but they are just as cruel and unusual serial killers, such as Amelia Dryer and the couple Fred and Rose West .…

Individuals who hear about this crime wonder what motivated the criminal, but they usually attribute the act to the criminal’s mental state and leave no room for trying to understand the circumstances revolving around the crime. As an author, Peter Shaffer was inspired by this grim and alarming crime and created a literary work which gave the crime a background and a unique perspective. Though all…
