ResumoThis is a play based on a true murder case in Vancouver which resulted in the deaths of at least ten women and many more “mystery” deaths of women in the Hastings Street area, unofficially referred to as “Skid Row.” All the women were found dead with a blood alcohol reading far beyond normal human consumption, and all of them were last seen with a Gilbert Paul Jordon, a local barber who frequented the local bars preying primarily on middle-aged Native women. The coroner’s report for many of the women found “no evidence of violence or suspicion of foul play” and listed the cause of death as “unnatural and accidental” (“Death by Alcohol,” Vancouver Sun 22 Oct. 1988).
