About the show

Dr Rhona Morrison: I Don't Talk To Dead Bodies | Victoria Theatre Halifax
Drawing on her bestselling memoir I Don’t Talk to Dead Bodies, Dr Rhona Morrison presents a vivid, compassionate and often surprising exploration of forensic psychiatry. With over 32 years’ experience working with mentally disordered offenders across hospitals, prisons, courts and community settings, Rhona shares gripping true stories that illuminate one of the most misunderstood areas of medicine.
Blending professional insight with warmth and humour, she examines how mental illness intersects with crime, safety, stigma and hope, challenging assumptions and inviting audiences to look beyond headlines. Alongside these powerful accounts, Rhona reflects on the resilience required to sustain a long career in this demanding field, and the personal reinvention that followed her retirement. The evening concludes with a Q&A, creating space for thoughtful discussion around mental health, compassion and change.
