Preview: The Makings of a Murderer, Theatre Royal Winchester

True crime fans can learn more about the most dangerous of murder investigations when another instalment of the popular The Makings of a Murderer series visits Theatre Royal Winchester on Sunday 5 July.

The Makings of a Murderer: The Undercover Detective is the latest from the UK’s best-selling true crime talk show, having already sold out two tours with over 150,000 tickets sold – with this new instalment diving even deeper into the grisliest murder investigations.

The talk is presented by Peter Bleksley – a founding member of Scotland Yard’s undercover unit and a former star of Channel 4’s Hunted – the reality TV series which sees a group of hunters made up of police and intelligence teams track down contestants on the run.

Bleksley takes to the stage now to discuss his most high-stakes cases and the hidden aspects of murder investigations; infiltrating criminal gangs and becoming the target of an assassination plot that forced him into witness protection.

Bleksley worked undercover for over a decade and during that time posed as drug dealers to contract killers – his double life giving him access to the darkest of corners of humanity while also risking his life to save others.

This series is brought to the stage by Entertainers – creators, producers and promoters of theatre shows and events; their current shows on tour including tributes to the world’s biggest artists and bands; celebrations of musical genres from Motown to 2tone and ska, country to glam rock; dance; cabaret; theatre; and seasonal celebrations.

The Makings of a Murderer: The Undercover Detective will be at Theatre Royal Winchester on Sunday 5 July at 7.30pm. Recommended age: 16+. For more information, or to book tickets, visit: theatreroyalwinchester.co.uk or call 01962 840 440.
