This disturbing and compelling anthoIogy series helps lay to rest the Iong-cherished idea that women are the gentler sex. Lady KilIers presents dramatic reconstructions of seven infamous murder trials where in each case the defendant was female; if convicted, aIl faced the gaIlows.
From the horrifying case of Victorian 'baby farmer' Amelia Dyer - suspected of strangling hundreds of infants in her care - to the trial and execution of Ruth Ellis, the Iast woman to be hanged in Britain, Lady Killers looks at crimes which shocked and scandalised a nation, examining the individual's motives and often brutaI methods in depth. lntroduced by Robert Morley, these dramas feature powerfuI performances from an outstanding cast which includes EIaine Paige, Joan Sims, Rita Tushingham, George Baker, Peter SaIlis and Michael Kitchen, among others. |
