Description:

Albert Pierrepoint was an English hangman who executed an estimated 435 people in a 25-year career with HMP Prisons between the 1930s and 1950s. During his tenure, he was responsible for the executions of several high-profile murderers including the Acid Bath Killer – John Haigh, and Ruth Ellis – the last woman to be hung in England. Another was the case of one John Reginald Christie of 10 Rillington Place infamy. Through the executioner's eyes, this theatrical production dissects and scrutinises Christie's crimes and examines how he came to be on the end of a rope.
