The Jeremy Bamber White House Farm Murders Guilty or not Guilty – With Mark Williams – Thomas

The Old Savoy - The home of The Deco Theatre Abington Square, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 4AE

Join award-winning investigative journalist and criminologist Mark Williams-Thomas for a gripping, immersive theatre experience delving into one of the most infamous and debated murder cases in British criminal history: The Jeremy Bamber White House Farm Murders. Nearly forty years after Bamber’s conviction for the 1985 killings at White House Farm—a crime for which he has consistently maintained his innocence—the case continues to provoke fierce discussion, new claims, and ongoing scrutiny. Over the decades, Mark Williams-Thomas has conducted extensive investigative work on the story, including direct communication with Jeremy Bamber himself, examining both the original evidence and the material that has since emerged. In this uniquely interactive live event, you, the audience, take on the role of a jury. Guided by Mark’s expert insight, you will journey through the key moments, evidence, controversies, and unanswered questions that have shaped the case for almost four decades. Has the full truth yet been uncovered? Is the conviction safe? And what should justice look like after 40 years of protestations of innocence? Thought-provoking, forensic, and often deeply emotional, this show invites you to confront one of the UK’s most enduring true-crime mysteries—and cast your own verdict: Guilty… or Not Guilty?
