Synopsis
It’s 1975. The Millgarth Incident Room in Leeds is the epicentre of the biggest manhunt in British history, for one of the most notorious serial killers: the Yorkshire Ripper.
With public and political pressure mounting, hundreds of officers must work around the clock and resort to increasingly audacious attempts to end one man’s campaign of terror.
Olivia Hirst and David Byrne’s ‘beautifully crafted’ play (The Guardian) goes behind the scenes to investigate the case that nearly broke the British police force.
Warnings: Strong language, references to violence and sexual violence against women.
