The sensational court case of Edith Thompson in 1923 was a cause célèbre with people queuing outside The Old Bailey for days to get tickets. Edith stood accused of colluding with her lover to murder her husband. But did she do it?!
This brand new murder mystery musical investigates the scandal.
Watch a 'live' recording of a true crime podcast as the truth is revealed in this torrid tale of lies, lust, love letters... and laudanum.
