- Gaslighters, Grifters and Gangsters: Psycho-thrillers of the 40s and 50sCourse start date: Thu 27 Jun 2024
Location on this date: Keeley Street
Tutors: William BradyJoin us to explore the rise of a dark, psychologically complex strain of Crime Fiction in the 1940s and 50s. Often termed the ‘psycho-thriller’, these novels put the criminal mind centre-stage, delving into murkier recesses of the human psyche than had previously been entertained. Focusing on two key examples of the genre, Patrick Hamilton’s Hangover Square and Patricia Highsmith’s Strangers on a Train, we will analyse and contextualise the psycho-thriller as it evolved in Britain and America.Full fee £99.00 Senior fee £79.00 Concession £64.00 - Writing the personal: autobiographical theatre
