The Demons of Fleet Street, an original new work written and directed by Duncanville Community Theatre veteran Jerry Ayers, brings chills and thrills to our community starting Sept. 25. Ayers’ “full-length tragic story of love and pies” is inspired by the Penny Dreadful Serial “A String of Pearls,” by James Rymer and Thomas Prest.
Press information tells us the onstage action at Duncanville Community Theatre will unfold “as a devious barber and a cunning baker conspire to create madness. The murderous plot promises to incite bone-chilling goosebumps during this full-length world premiere.” The action takes place in and around the notorious Fleet Street area in London, England, 1786-1787.

Ayers directs a cast that features Samantha Turner as The Dark Angel, Heather Winkelman as Mrs. Lovett, Alex Miracle as Tobias, and Kevin Velasquez as Mr. Todd. Clark Hackney is Mr. Oakley, with Gabrielle Smith as Johanna, Wendy Acosta as a Beggar Woman, and Angela Stidham as Dr. Fionnula Fogg.
