Murder or Madness?

This tragic, but true story from 1920 is so much more than just a murder. Other wholesome ingredients such as ‘WWI heroics’, ‘first grade sport’, ‘illicit love’, ‘high-society scandal’, ‘supernatural apparitions' even a 'twist in the tail' all combine to make this a sumptuous feast of interest, tasty enough to excite anyone’s palate.

Using both narrative and audio visuals, Stephen’s historical presentation will be structured into a ‘six act tragedy’ with all the characters playing out the grim shenanigans from nearly a hundred years ago.

This North Shore murder continues to be remembered and documented, both in newspaper and magazine articles, as well as two books published in 2015. Due to Stephen’s uniquely close connection to this crime, his talk promises to take us a little closer into this crime scene than is usually experienced. 

 

This entertaining and informative talk is highly recommended and not to be missed.***
