Synopsis
A wickedly entertaining musical spectacle and award-winning fringe festival hit, the show recounts the historical case of two 19th century Irish serial killers who go into business selling corpses to medical anatomy schools. This raucous, eerie tale of deceit, murder and mayhem is told in memorable song, macabre humour, and compelling lyrics. (theatre20.com)
