"Christie in Love" is the true tale of the arrest and execution of John Reginald Halliday Christie, one of Britain's most notorious serial killers, who during the 1940s and 50s murdered at least 6 women including his wife. His sensational murder trial contributed to the abolishment of capital punishment in the UK. Instead of allowing the audience to distance themselves from Christie, the play brings his motivations and pathology up close and personal.
