About this event
Following their hit Manhunter & Mindhunter tour, former Detective Chief Inspectors Colin Sutton and Steve Gaskin have decades of high-profile murder cases under their belts and return with a gripping live true-crime experience.
In the first half of the show, they’ll take you inside New Scotland Yard’s elite Murder Squad, sharing a real, first-hand insight into murder investigations, post-mortems, and high-stakes courtroom cases. No actors. No fiction. Just the truth.
After the interval, the show becomes highly interactive: every audience member receives a realistic murder case file and is challenged to examine evidence, explore a digital crime scene, identify suspects, and decide who the killer is before a final professional debrief reveals how close you came to cracking the case.
A first-of-its-kind UK theatre experience. Perfect for true-crime fans, armchair detectives, and anyone ready to test their instincts.
