FALLEN WOMEN
By Phoebe Roberts and Bernie Gabin
6PM on Saturday, May 9th
At the First Parish Church
50 Church Street, Waltham, MA
London, 1888— Mrs. Hawking’s great rival may have been vanquished, but the struggle has left rifts in the once-close bond between our heroes. They find themselves alienated and in pain even as they must swing into action to take on the infamous murderer Jack the Ripper. Where once they were always there for one another, a new life path opening up for Mary, Nathaniel’s lingering trauma, and Mrs. Hawking’s pulling away from her chosen family threaten to shatter the team forever.
