A play by John Goodrum, based on Charles Dickens’ classic Victorian short thriller. Newly qualified doctor Stephen Ruggles has just arrived home on a stormy winter’s evening. A mysterious elderly woman arrives at his door and begs him to visit a nameless patient at daybreak. Against his better judgement, Ruggles agrees, only to find himself embroiled in a web of lies and deceit that ends in death…but for whom? Rumpus presents this suspenseful thriller, taking the audience on a dark and intriguing journey. Packed full of atmosphere and shocks, The Black Veil is “a chilling thriller that leads the audience down several blind alleys before revealing all with a clever double twist … nothing is as it seems” - theargus.co.uk “Eerie, nightmarish, chillingly spooky … a sure-fire winner.” - Derbyshire Times

And it feels right to create something that speaks to the people who make up most of my audience – women. In the past year I’ve travelled a lot, and I’ve seen how women around the world support drag and queer people. And I want to give something back.”
