Inside the mind of a murderer…
Thrilling, innovative, and not a little macabre, ‘Haigh’ is the exploration through theatre, art installation and multimedia of the life of John George Haigh, ‘The Acid Bath Murderer’. Audiences will keep on the move, walking through and exploring key scenes in his life, as they attempt to unravel what might have turned him into such a cold-blooded killer.
