White Rabbit Productions is proud to present a new Canadian musical!
Bloodless: The Trial of Burke and Hare
Written and composed by Joseph Aragon | Directed by Sharon Bajer

Robbing graves for medical science is back breaking work. 
Why dig up corpses when you can create your own?

A musically morbid tale of money lust and murder in 19th century Scotland.  
It follows the tale of Irish innkeepers William Burke and William Hare, whose business takes a turn for the murderous when word gets out that fresh corpses fetch a pretty penny at the medical academy.

This deliciously dark and scandalously true story returns to Winnipeg, where it got its award-wining start at the 2009 Fringe Festival, after a professional world premiere at the Panasonic Theatre in Toronto last year.

Buy your tickets at White Rabbit or by calling (204) 414-7078 or email
