True crime podcasts are a guilty pleasure of many, with some of the most harrowing tales ironically helping some of us drift off to sleep at night. If this sounds like you, then there’s a show coming to Manchester’s Opera House theatre for one night only that shouldn’t be missed.
Titled ‘Strange but True Crime‘, it’s set to be a night of truly haunting tales as former forensics lecturer Jennifer Rees recounts some truly weird crime stories. The show’s description gives a few examples to look forward to, including a serial killer law enforcer who ended up hunting himself down, a female killer clown who roamed the town carrying balloons, as well as plenty of serial killers who appeared on TV game shows before their apprehension.
Rees previously toured the UK and Ireland with her show ‘The Psychology of Serial Killers’ ended up being a hit among audiences with thousands turning up to hear the stories she had to part with. One audience member describes this new touring show as ‘riveting’ and ‘extremely well delivered’.
