Crossed Wires presents Lady Killers

Lady Killers with Lucy Worsley—where true crime meets history with a twist—comes live to Sheffield for an afternoon of sex, scandal and suspicion.

Joined by Dr Kate Lister (Betwixt the Sheets) and historian Dr Rose Wallis (Victorian Murder Club), and with live readings from Clare Corbett (Eastenders and Audible) Lucy unpicks three dramatic cases where women’s love lives steal the spotlight.

A Victorian wife whose secrets were laid bare in court, sex workers who knew exactly what happened but weren’t believed, and a glittering 1930s shooting awash with drink, drama and dangerous relationships.

When sex is on trial, who gets to tell the truth and who gets believed? Expect gripping storytelling, fascinating debate and revelations that might just change your mind.

Important note from Crossed Wires Festival: As tickets are free, people often request more than they need, so we have to issue more tickets than there are seats available to allow for this. Entry into the show is on a first come, first served basis, and is not guaranteed even with a reservation. Please arrive in good time.
