Synopsis
London, 1888. In the filthy, unforgiving streets of Whitechapel, Mary Ann “Polly” Nichols is a hard-drinking, sharp-tongued woman struggling to scrape together fourpence for a night's lodging. Once a wife and mother of five, Polly has fallen on desperate times, but beneath her rough exterior remains a fierce determination to survive. Told through her own raw, unflinching voice, The Last Fourpence follows Polly through her final hours, culminating in a terrifying encounter with the man who would become known as Jack the Ripper. A gritty, visceral historical dramatization that gives a forgotten woman something her infamous murderer never could—a voice of her own.
