Murder - Just What The Doctor Ordered.

  • Staveley Roundhouse Main Street Staveley, Kendal, Cumbria, LA8 9LU United Kingdom (map)

We welcome back the very talented Isosceles Theatre Company who brought us the amazing show The Man who left the Titanic.

Watch a video here!

 In Edinburgh Between 1827 and 1828 science and murder cling  together in a dance of death. Sixteen people are slaughtered  by Burke and Hare and the devil and all his works prowls  the streets of 'Auld Reekie'. Dr Robert Knox, scientist, doctor

 and anatomist supreme, waits in Surgeons Square to  buy bodies for the sake of  advancing medical knowledge.  His door is chapped, a body is delivered, money is paid and  no questions are asked. A trail of terror leads from West Port  to the dissection table of Robert Knox.  Murder will out and  a price must be paid, even by the anatomist supreme.  Doctor Knox will have to pay that price.

AUDIENCE QUOTES- I go to a lot of theatre and this play and these actors are as good as anything I have seen at the RSC.'

' We enjoyed your play so much - a fascinating story, brilliantly delivered.'

' It was great - two fabulous actors revealing the misfortunes of Edinburgh's ' unknown, ' as told by  Dr. Knox's assistants .'

' A terrific evening. I was gripped from beginning to end .' 

 "A thought-provoking performance...the play was brilliantly acted...Bravo Isosceles !  A superb show, highly recommended."
