The Glasgow Poisoner: A New Musical
“The king of poisons and the poison of kings.
It’s useful for so many things”

A new musical inspired by a sensational murder trial in 19th century Glasgow. Madeleine Smith, a Glasgow socialite living in Blythswood Square, was accused of a secret affair and poisoning her lover to death.

The trial ended with a rare ‘Not Proven’ verdict, but now Plume, an aspiring pamphleteer, is working out which version of the story to tell. Was Madeleine innocent or guilty?

Inspired by the scandalous real-life story, The Glasgow Poisoner is a new musical by Tom Cooper and Jen McGregor that explores our obsession with true crime and female killers, then and now.
