BBC Radio 4: Lady Killers
Lucy Worsley with Sarah Waters and Professor Rosalind Crone
– 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 Sarah Waters, bestselling author of Tipping the Velvet and The Paying Guests, and historian Professor Rosalind Crone, 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 Hay Festival in 2025.
