The Incident Room
Main Auditorium10/11/2023 - 18/11/2023Set in Leeds in 1975, The Incident Room is a forensic examination of the five-year police hunt for the Yorkshire Ripper. With public pressure mounting, the investigators resorted to increasingly audacious attempts to catch one of Britain’s most notorious serial killers. The play was a huge success both in Edinburgh in 2019 and later at the New Diorama Theatre.
There Are No Beginnings
In the bar22/11/2023 - 26/11/2023Between 1975-80, women of Leeds lived in fear of being murdered by an unknown assailant and were urged to stay home. From the fear and fury, a steadfast solidarity arose, birthing the Reclaim the Night movement and echoing down the generations to this day. Whilst the Yorkshire Ripper is ever present, this is, in essence, a story of the women living under his shadow.
