The Makings Of A Murderer - Fatal Mistake

Donal MacIntyre brings The Makings of a Murderer - Fatal Mistake to the Swansea Grand Theatre on Thursday 6 May 2027, starting at 7.00pm. It's part of his The Makings of a Murderer series, a live true-crime show that takes a look at some of the most compelling murder investigations of recent times.

MacIntyre is an award-winning investigative journalist and broadcaster, and that's exactly what he does here: he opens up cases that made the headlines and walks you through them. The focus is on killers who believed they'd committed the perfect crime, and the investigators, the evidence, and the chance discoveries that eventually brought them to justice. It's less about the crime itself and more about the hunt that followed.

He takes the audience inside that process, looking at how close these killers came to getting away with it. If you've ever wondered how a case that seemed cold suddenly breaks open, or how a tiny mistake can unravel a carefully planned cover-up, that's the ground he covers. It's true crime told by someone who's spent his career digging into it, so it's more of a deep dive into the investigation than a simple retelling of the facts.

The show runs at the Swansea Grand Theatre on Singleton Street, Swansea, SA1 3QJ, on Thursday 6 May 2027, with the curtain going up at 7.00pm.
