Jack

In a city of smoke and secrets, his name sparks fear in the powerful and hope in the crowd.

Jack Sheppard is no ordinary criminal.

A carpenter turned outlaw, he slipped through bars and dodged the gallows, turning every escape into a performance with the city as his stage.
But even legends can’t run forever.

Jack is a bold, fast-paced new musical inspired by the true story of the 18th-century gaol-breaker who outwitted the law and captured the public’s imagination. With a gritty original score and vibrant characters drawn from the Georgian underworld, it explores the line between criminality and celebrity, freedom and performance.

Bristol Musical Theatre proudly presents the world premiere of Jack, by Phil Dixon and Elizabeth Major.
