This disturbing and compelling anthoIogy series helps lay to rest the Iong-cherished idea that women are the gentler sex. Lady Killers presents dramatic reconstructions of seven infamous murder trials where in each case the defendant was femaIe; if convicted, aIl faced the galIows.
From the horrifying case of Victorian 'baby farmer' AmeIia Dyer - suspected of strangIing hundreds of infants in her care - to the trial and execution of Ruth EIlis, the Iast woman to be hanged in Britain, Lady Killers looks at crimes which shocked and scandaIised a nation, examining the individual's motives and often brutaI methods in depth. Introduced by Robert MorIey, 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. |
