Hare

The unreliable final confession of William Hare regarding his acquaintance with William Burke, with interruptions and contradictions by Mrs. Margaret Hare.

Edinburgh was scandalised when murderer William Hare was released after turning King's evidence and sending his partner, William Burke, to the gallows.

In this dramatic telling Hare and his wife, Margaret, look back and reluctantly recount in sordid detail their memories of the year 1828 and what became known as the Westport Murders.

Written and performed by John and Noreen Hamilton of Heritage Stories.
