Lucy Worsley with Professor Rosalind Crone and guests
– Exchange Marquee
Join Lucy Worsley and the team from the hit BBC Radio 4 series Lady Killers for a rip-roaring exploration of murder by the book. In conversation with historian Professor Rosalind Crone and guest, Lucy brings you infamous murderesses from history and separates fact from fiction. This is where true crime meets literature, with a twist.
There’s Maria Manning immortalised by Charles Dickens in Bleak House; Margaret Garner the inspiration for Toni Morrison’s novel Beloved and many more. Featuring live reconstructions, readings and questions from the audience, Lady Killers: Murder by the Book is coming exclusively to the Hay Festival in 2025.Free – drop in
