Summer 1860, an elegant country house, a young boy is found dead in
an outside privy. All clues point towards the murderer being a
member of the grieving household. But which one? Called to the
scene is the most celebrated detective of his day, Jonathan Whicher
from Scotland Yard. Faced with an inept local police force, a
middle-class family ravaged by secrets, and a lack of evidence,
will he be able to solve the case? This original Victorian whodunit
becomes a battle of wits between the professional detective and the
only one who knows what really happened. In this fresh re-telling,
fact and fiction bleed into each other, and the Truth becomes
something to be fought over. Alexandra Wood's stage adaptation of
Kate Summerscale's vivid and gripping bestselling non-fiction
thriller, The Suspicions of Mr Whicher, is premiered at the
Watermill Theatre, Newbury, in May 2023.
