The Murderess

In the Victorian era Margaret Van Woods (age 72) awaits imminent execution for the mass murder of beautiful, young women over a 40year period.

In a cold, dark prison cell, the night before her death, a ghost writer, Miss Seacole has the very last chance to capture Margaret’ story; an unprecedented opportunity to unearth the truth behind her cold-blooded killings and reveal the inner workings of this seemingly charming, intelligent and harmless woman.

What were her motivations and methods? How did she evade capture for so long? And why, most alarmingly, were the victims all missing their hearts?

A Shooting Fish production, in collaboration with young people from Community Learning in Partnership.
