Summer, 1860. A Georgian manor house in the village of Road, Wiltshire awakes to the discovery of a brutal murder: a three-year-old child is dead and at least one member of the household must be responsible. Fuelled by lurid broadsheets and penny dreadfuls, the crime grips the nation. Metropolitan Police Inspector Jack Whicher is tasked with bringing the killer to justice, but the case haunts him for the rest of his life. In this drama, Whicher revisits the events at Road Hill House to review the verdict and test whether his original conclusions were correct.

Directed by Suzanne Viney, this is an amateur production by arrangement with Nick Hern Books.
