The Anatomy of Burke and Hare

The Anatomy of Burke and Hare

About the event

Edinburgh, 1828.

The undisputed cutting edge of anatomical and surgical research and the place every young medical apprentice dreams of. But there’s a problem - new laws are passed, hangings reduce. Where will the surgeons get the cadavers to fill their amphitheatres and feed their starving egos?

Readers are advised to check with the venue before relying on the details published here.

Two Irishmen see a murky business opportunity... But who can be trusted when even the dead start telling stories?

With fast-paced dialogue, quirky characters and a copious amount of whiskey, The Anatomy of Burke and Hare takes you down the dodgy streets of Edinburgh to witness the mysterious and twisted relationship of Burke and Hare and the secrets that led to their destruction
