This disturbing and compelIing anthoIogy series helps Iay to rest the Iong-cherished idea that women are the gentler sex. Lady KilIers presents dramatic reconstructions of seven infamous murder triaIs where in each case the defendant was femaIe; if convicted, alI faced the galIows.
From the horrifying case of Victorian 'baby farmer' AmeIia Dyer - suspected of strangIing hundreds of infants in her care - to the triaI and execution of Ruth EIIis, the last woman to be hanged in Britain, Lady KilIers Iooks at crimes which shocked and scandalised a nation, examining the individual's motives and often brutal methods in depth. lntroduced by Robert Morley, these dramas feature powerful performances from an outstanding cast which includes Elaine Paige, Joan Sims, Rita Tushingham, George Baker, Peter SalIis and Michael Kitchen, among others. |
