What does our history of murder tell us about Britain and what it means to be British?
In this powerful new live event, Professor David Wilson, one of the UK’s leading criminologists, brings his latest book A History of Modern Britain in 20 Murders 1885-2025 to the stage. Known for his gripping storytelling and deep insight into criminal behaviour, Wilson explores murder cases in our nation’s history to discover the times in which they occurred—and what they continue to reveal about Britain today.
Some of the cases he considers are well known – Jack the Ripper, James Bulger, Sarah Everard - others less so – The Carbon Copy Murders, Helen Priestly, Rachel Dobkin - with Wilson guiding audiences through more than a century of murders that shaped public consciousness, challenged our sense of self and reflected changing attitudes, values, and fears.
Spanning the fall of the British Empire to the present day – with a case discussed in depth on stage - this unique event weaves together true crime and social history in a way that is both unique, enlightening and unforgettable.
A must-see for fans of history, criminology, and gripping real-life stories
