Murderous Minds with Emma Kenny

If you have been following the true crime genre for a while, you have likely come across Emma Kenny. She is a well-known figure in the field, working as a crime presenter and author with a specific focus on criminal psychology. This autumn, she is bringing her live show, Murderous Minds, to the Theatre Royal here in Brighton. It is scheduled for Thursday, 15 October 2026, and offers a deep dive into the mechanics of the criminal mind, which is the core theme of her work.

The show itself is structured as a talk, lasting approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes, which includes an interval. It is part of a broader national tour that spans eight different locations across the UK, including cities like Birmingham, Liverpool, Folkestone, Stoke, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Sunderland. The tour runs from May through to November 2026, so the Brighton date is one of several opportunities to see the presentation if you happen to be travelling or have friends in those other areas.

For those interested in the psychological side of crime, this event provides a space to explore those topics in a live setting. The Theatre Royal is a familiar venue for many of us in the city, and having this kind of presentation there is a straightforward way to engage with the subject matter without the usual television format. It is a chance to hear directly from someone who has spent a significant amount of time researching and presenting on these specific criminal profiles. If you are planning to attend, it is worth noting the duration and the format, as it is essentially a long-form discussion rather than a performance in the traditional theatrical sense.
