An unforgettable evening of true crime with two of Scotland Yard's most prolific detectives.
In an unexpected twist of fate, former Detective Chief Inspectors Steve Gaskin and Colin Sutton met two years ago, igniting a spark that neither could have predicted. What began as a chance meeting has evolved into a groundbreaking theatre production set to tour the UK in 2024 and 2025.

Manhunter & Mindhunter is a gripping two-man show that delves into the dark world of serial killers, offering audiences a unique blend of true crime storytelling and psychological exploration. Both performers have been featured on a variety of UK TV Shows. It's not just another true crime show; it’s a deep dive into the mind of a serial killer, with a particular focus on Levi Bellfield, one of the UK’s most infamous criminals.
Colin Sutton, “Manhunter,” will lead the audience through the intense and meticulous investigation that led to Bellfield’s arrest, charge, and eventual conviction. Sutton’s account is not just a retelling of facts but an immersive experience that brings the audience into the heart of the investigation, revealing the unparalleled truth behind one of the most complex cases of his career.
On the other side of the stage, Steve Gaskin is “Mindhunter.” Gaskin’s part of the production delves into the psychological makeup of Bellfield, exploring the chilling characteristics that define a psychopath. Steve is a criminal psychologist. His analysis goes beyond the surface, offering a deeper understanding of what drives serial killers to commit such heinous acts. But Gaskin’s role doesn’t stop at Bellfield; he broadens the scope to examine the psychology of serial killers in general, shedding light on the patterns of behaviour that have baffled investigators and true crime addicts for decades.
Audience members won’t just be passive observers; they’ll have the chance to engage directly. During the show, guests will be invited to measure their own “psychopathy”, using tools and methods that Gaskin and Sutton will introduce. This unique feature not only adds an element of personal intrigue but also challenges the audience to reflect on the thin line between normality and the dark recesses of the human mind.
