New tour explores the homely side of murder

Professor David Wilson will be at the Gardyne Theatre on October 16.

Renowned UK criminologist, best-selling author, broadcaster, and former prison governor Professor David Wilson will visit Dundee’s Gardyne Theatre next month has part of his hew 14-date Scottish tour.

Fresh from the success of his ‘My Life with Murderers’ UK Tour earlier this year, Professor Wilson will take to the stage once again with an all-new show touring throughout his home country beginning in Edinburgh on 3 October.

The home is where the heart is, but it is also the most common place for murder. ‘Murder at Home’, based on his best-selling book of the same name, will uncover the dangers that can exist where we least expect them.

Professor Wilson’s knowledge of murder is unparalleled: in this show he will talk audiences through each part of the house, explaining how the use of each room has changed over time; the potential weapons they contain, and how these factors combined can lead to murder.

He will delve into the infamous and lesser-known true crime cases and discuss how everyday violence can touch us all.

Professor Wilson said: “I am delighted to be touring in Scotland again, and this time visiting towns and cities that I was unable to speak in on the last tour.

"I am looking forward to once again engaging with Scottish audiences, about true crime, violence, and murder.

"Despite what I am going to talk about, it’s always nice to come home.”

He will appear at the Gardyne on Monday, October 16 and tickets are available from ProfessorDavidWilson.co.uk.
