About

True crime lecturer Jennifer Rees heads to the New Theatre Royal with a talk that will challenge widely held myths about serial killers — you might be surprised by what you discover!

Jennifer will delve into the key differences between male and female serial killers, using compelling case studies to bring these distinctions to life.

There will also be a trip into the chilling world of killer couples, including infamous pairs like Fred and Rose West and Ian Brady and Myra Hindley. Jennifer will examine the psychological condition known as Folie à deux, or 'shared psychosis', which often plays a role in these partnerships.

Why do some people fall in love with serial killers? Jennifer will unpack the clinical insights behind this disturbing fascination, discussing Hybristophilia and exploring real-life cases, including the shocking events surrounding the Night Stalker's trial.
