This murder mystery musical is inspired by the true story of Edith Thompson and her young lover Freddy Bywaters. Their Old Bailey murder trial of 1922 became a cause célèbre. People queued for days to get tickets to see whether they were found innocent or guilty.

What did the jury decide? Did Edith really collude with her lover to kill her husband? How did Edith’s sixty-four love letters serve to condemn her in the eyes of the world?

After successful sell-out public readings in 2024, this murder mystery musical returns with a full-scale production for 2026, with new songs and a great new retro 1920s design.
