If you think you know the story of Burke and Hare, think again. For its latest collaboration, Siege Perilous has teamed up with fellow Edinburgh-based theatre company West Port Productions to stage ‘Burke’ its first historical, fact-based production at the GRV in November. 'Burke' is a poignant haunting psychological drama which delves into the mind of notorious serial killer William Burke as he awaits his execution, and uses accounts from his 2-day trial in 1828. This is not however, a simple retelling of the 16 murders he committed with partner William Hare.Burke & Hare take to the stage
