'The Long Shadow', the story of a serial killer. Far from the morbid gloating over the deaths, the production adds to the notable setting and costumes the machismo that permeated the investigation into the Yorkshire Ripper.

In total, there were 13 women murdered by Peter Sutcliffe in Leeds, Bradford and Manchester and five years spent by the police to discover and arrest the murderer. The vast majority of the police officers who participated in the long period of the investigations reached levels of intolerable contempt towards women in general and colleagues in particular.
