The only thing I can think of to tell you is what I do in writing my novel, I describe the person, the scene, what the thoughts of the person are. You have to put yourself into the shoes of each character and try to imagine how they looked, how the felt, and what they might have said. If you are supposed to do a Jack the Ripper drama, now much leeway do you have in the story. Can it be a comedy for example instead of serious and scary. Can facts about the females from the original story be totally different such as one of the females Jack goes after ends up being a vampire. That would change the outcome of the story and thus the drama surprisingly.
For example, someone answering a phone could go like this, Kate swung her hair over her shoulder as she sat down on the rickety old wooden chair that creaked as she reached for the phone. The voice the came over the phone sounded like Maryjane but was so shaky Kate almost didn't recognize her. This sent a lightening bolt of alarm and fear through Kate......
The things I just wrote work for a novel because the mind is doing the imagining. On stage, it is a bit different. When you said Jack threatens her...my first thought was but Kate dies so is he threatening her as she dies? My mind got so hung up on trying to figure that out it took me some time to realize you meant Jack took the phone from the lifeless fingers of Kate and then starts speaking over the phone to Maryjane to threaten her. So you have to be careful and read and re-read what you wrote. Good luck dear. Its not easy when you first start doing it, but if you enjoy writing, you'll get better with practice so writing a script, even if it turns out so-so is good practice. Even time you go to write, it will become better. You have to start somewhere.
