Drunk Women Solving Crime

49 DRUNK WOMEN LIVE: With Rebecca Root

Season 1, Ep. 49

Another day, another crime solved by our favourite drunk detectives in front of a packed Pleasance Theatre. This week actor, writer and intrepid traveller, Rebecca Root grabbed a gin or 3 and joined the ranks and cracked a case only an escapologist could see their way out of.

This week's historic case involves not just one, but TWO famous figures from history, which could be still arguing beyond the grave.

To round things-off a member of the audience shares a crime which left everyone in the room a little slack-jawed.
