From a good old pub comedy night to a fascinating examination of some of the most renowned serial killers of all time, there's lots to get up to in Worcester this week.

The Makings of a Murderer

Kicking off with some true crime, 'The Makings of a Murderer' offers a chilling evening on Thursday (March 14).

The evening is brought to audiences by renowned Scottish detective David Swindle, the man who brought the notorious Peter Tobin to justice.

This event, at The Swan Theatre, provides an intriguing exploration of some of the most infamous British serial killers, including Jack the Ripper and Fred and Rose West.

A wealth of knowledge with over 34 years of experience, Swindle shares unique insights into the minds of these murderers.

Previewing the show, he said: “Serial Killers are cunning, conniving, controlling, careful and – I hate to say it – clever.

“They live apparently normal lives and get away with their crimes for years. . . until eventually detected.”

Tickets for the event are available for £31, and is recommended for attendees over 18 years old.
