Sean O'Connor
Summary
Joining us at Audible Studios is writer, director and producer of theatre, radio, television and film, Sean O'Connor. O'Connor's newest book, The Fatal Passion of Alma Rattenbury is a brilliantly detailed true murder story based in 1935. The year boasted a tabloid sensation with a story of adultery, drugs, alcoholism and murder on the streets of Bournemouth.
Sean O'Connor brings the period beautifully to life with painstaking research and thorough detail, as well as having access to brand new evidence on the case - journeying from the South London slums in the 1880s to British Columbia, and reaching its dramatic climax in Bournemouth, England.
In this interview we talk about how women are treated when accused of murder, what O’Connor’s biggest find was on this case, and how his writing on this murder tied in with a story line on BBC Radio 4’s The Archers.
