Burke and Hare

The notorious Burke and Hare scandalised 1820s Edinburgh by making a killing from selling dead bodies to the medical trade - some of which were knocked off to order. Their story has inspired Tom Wentworth's knockabout comedy, which comes to Jermyn Street Theatre for the festive season after premiering in Newbury's Watermill Theatre. A three-strong cast will romp their way through a song-filled, vaudeville-style story. Abigail Pickard Price directs.
