Join us for a stranger than fiction night of true crime with ex-forensics lecturer Jennifer Rees who explores the world's most shocking and unbelievable cases. Jennifer's previous theatre tour, The Psychology of Serial Killers, was a huge hit with audiences, selling out across the UK and Ireland to rave reviews.
In this new show, Jennifer explores stories such as the serial killer who gained work in law enforcement whilst on the run - and ended up hunting himself; the female, balloon-carrying killer clown; serial killers on game shows - how their appearances led to their identification, and many more stories.
A fascinating look at the strangest, but true crime stories, perfect for fans of true crime documentaries and podcasts.
"Riveting content, and extremely well delivered. 10/10" – Audience Review
