Lives of the great poisoners
About
'Lives of the Great Poisoners' is a multidisciplinary theatre piece with elements of text, dance and song on the theme of history's most infamous poisoners. The play has three parts, each featuring an infamous poisoner: Dr Crippen, who was hanged in 1910 for the murder of his wife Cora; Medea, the mythical figure who killed her ex-husband Jason's new wife with poisoned robes; and Madame de Brinvilliers, the notorious 17th-century poisoner who learnt the tricks of the trade from her lover. The three stories are linked together by the figure of Midgley, an American inventor and industrial chemist.
