(Fournier Street, Spitalfields. Evening. A TOUR GUIDE is leading a small CROWD on a Jack the Ripper tour. He stops to point out the sights.)<\/p>\n

<\/span>TOUR GUIDE<\/span>
Here we see Christ Church<\/a>, the masterpiece of Nicholas Hawksmoor, known as \u201cthe Devil\u2019s Architect\u201d. People have spent decades trying to decipher the occult symbolism behind its mysterious design.<\/p>\n

CROWD<\/span>
Aaah!<\/p>\n

TOUR GUIDE<\/span>
Opposite, we stand before the infamous Ten Bells<\/a> pub, where the Ripper would select his unfortunate victims from among the ladies of the night.<\/p>\n

CROWD<\/span>
Oooh!<\/p>\n

(Concluding his lurid peroration, the CROWD continues its walk up the street a little further, when the TOUR GUIDE stops again to call attention to another place of similarly sordid interest to the tour. He gestures at a doorway in a modest row of brick houses in the shadow of the church.)<\/p>\n

<\/span>TOUR GUIDE<\/span>
And this house is the residence of the notorious modern British artist Tracey Emin<\/a>, who paid one million pounds for the house several years ago.<\/p>\n

CROWD<\/span>
Whoah!<\/p>\n

(On one of the upper storey windows, a wooden shutter suddenly bangs open. The head of TRACEY EMIN appears, leaning over the sill to yell into the street below.)<\/p>\n

<\/span>TRACEY EMIN<\/span>
One POINT ONE million!<\/p>\n
