“The Trial of Burke and Hare” White Rabbit Productions, April 23 2013

Leif Norman

Bloodless: The Trial of Burke and Hare is a musically morbid tale of money lust and murder in 19th century Scotland.  It follows the true tale of Irish innkeepers William Burke and William Hare, whose business takes a turn for the murderous when word gets out that fresh corpses fetch a pretty penny at the medical academy.
