Based on the story of the notorious William Burke and William Hare, the show takes the facts and adds the fun, making a fantastic cast of three actor-musicians play over 30 roles and 3 animals between them, with a lot of hats, costume changes and accents.
It’s a murderous musical romp!
From picnics and parkour to Reggae and new writing, the season begins with our ‘Party Week,’ welcoming everyone into Theatre Square to tip our hats to the Platinum Jubilee and celebrate everyone coming together again.
Some events are ticketed, some are free and some are inside while others are outdoors. Our summer season events are packed with comedy, drama, music and more and we promise a lot of fun for both adults and children.

It forms part of the emerging ‘Theatre Square’ development – a regeneration project to breathe new life into a formerly neglected part of Ipswich town centre. NW2 is a gift made to the New Wolsey Theatre from the developers that own the car parks on the site, including the landmark underground ‘Spiral’ car park. The building has been designed by Phil Waind of WGP architects and has a distinctive gold-coloured roof. Architecturally the building pushes the boundaries of standard design for community facilities.
NW2 will be the new home for the New Wolsey theatre’s learning and participation work. Working under the banner of a new ‘Creative Communities’ programme, the team responsible will have office and meeting space in NW2, as well as a large open space for participation work. This work includes curriculum-linked workshops in schools, as well as on-site opportunities for young people to learn a range of technical skills such as lighting, sound, design, theatrical make-up and more.
