Recommended Posts

The latest science based, immersive theatre event from local Professor of Psychology at Goldsmiths, Fiona Gabbert, and the Forensic Psychology Unit. Fiona’s research has had an international impact on operational procedures via introducing evidence-based investigative interview tools and training resources to the field.


NCPD: Murder Investigation - An evening of detective work, drinks... and donuts!

The 80’s called and there’s been a murder… City Hall is screaming for suspects. The hotshot trainees of Detective Squad at New Cross Police Department (NCPD) are the only ones left to solve the case. Donuts will be provided.

We need you; the A-Team, to be at the scene of the crime on Wednesday 8th, Thursday 9th March, or Friday 10th March from 19:00 – 22:00 hrs (7 - 10pm).


This is what you joined up for! Time-travel back to the 80s and solve a murder that baffled the pros. An immersive science-theatre event combining the best creative and research talent Goldsmiths has to offer! All we need now is you, and your legendary crime-fighting ability!


On arrival you’ll be briefed by NCPD Chief of Police, who will provide you with everything you need for the evening. Gather evidence by exploring crime scenes and interrogating key witnesses, recording evidence in your police notebook as you go. We need the name of your prime suspect by end of shift! Before heading home, you’ll be asked to report back to the future to receive 21st Century scientific feedback on your sleuthing skills.


Brought to you by Goldsmiths' award-winning Forensic Psychology Unit (FPU) in collaboration with the Department of Theatre and Performance. https://www.youtube.com/@GoldsmithsUoL/videos


As with all prior FPU events, your evening will be packed with real psychological research! With results coming in live via fax at the end of the night. It promises to be an entertaining and informative night, blending the arts and science with just a touch of Old Spice, Babycham, polyester, piano ties, and 80s hits.


Dress code: Roll up the sleeves of your mac, back-comb your barnet, and shake those shoulder pads - come along as your favourite detective, crime-fighting duo, or renegade cop with a disregard for authority. 80s dress is encouraged, but not compulsory.


Hard and soft drinks will be available throughout the evening – card payments only.

**Two free drinks for each person on first night only**

Hi Alice,

It's always horrific when this happens.

The Forensic Psychology Unit, and espeially Professor Gabbert work actively and direcly with law enforcement agencies across the world, including the Met, to improve policing and interview practices through research. This is an educational event, and it's been in preparation for months. It is a fictional scenario based on an event which took place over 40 years ago.

It wouldn't be practical for theatres, cinemas, actors and educators to base their event planning on unknown elements, no matter how sad they are. I'm sure you can understand this.

With preparation for our latest immersive crime event (NCPD: Murder Investigation) well underway, here is a taste of our previous event: The Accused - The trial of Ruth Ellis




Tickets for NCPD: A murder investigation are here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/ncpd-murder-investigation-tickets-530511422947?aff=ebdssbdestsearch

Friday 10 March is now sold out.

Limited tickets remain for Wed 8 & Thurs 9th


All previous events have sold out, and it will be a great science-driven evening of crime investigation created by world experts in forensic psychology!

Thats is SOO lovely to hear Nicola. A lot of work from the staff, and students went into it, and we are all volunteers, so feedback like yours makes the whole thing worthwhile!!

    • That a shocking story.  Spurs?  You appear to be lost.  Haringey is very much the other side of the river.  
    • Every year they ask for more and every year it is an exhausting process pushing back on that for local residents and councillors. What annoys me is that at the post event consultation/ feedback this year, I specifically asked them if the rumours around applying for two weekends next year were true. They told me no. So that was a lie. Anyway, we go again. 
    • Double In New or great condition  Or super comfortable air bed Any1 pls
    • Rant ahead: You're not one of them but unfortunately, there's a substrate of posters here that do very little except moan and come up with weird conspiracy theories. They're immediately highly critical of just about any change, and their initial assumption is that everyone else is a total fucking contemptible idiot. For example: don't you think that the people who run the libraries will have considered the impact of timing of reconstruction on library users? (In fact, we know they have - because they've made arrangements at other libraries to attempt to mitigate the disruption). After all, these are the people that spend their whole working week thinking about libraries and dealing with library users (and the kids especially). You don't go into the library game for the chicks and fame - so it's fair to assume that librarians are committed to public service and public access to libraries, including by kids. Likewise the built environment people (engineers, architects, construction managers, project managers, construction contractors, subcontractors or whoever is on this job) are told to minimise disruption on every job they do. The thing that occurs to us as amateurs within 30 seconds of us seeing something is probably not something a full time professional hasn't thought about! Southwark Council, the NHS, TfL, Dulwich Estate, Thames Water, Openreach - they're not SPECTRE factories filled with malevolent chaosmongers trying to persecute anyone. They're mostly filled with people who understand their job and try to do their best with what they've been given - just like all of us. Nobody is perfect or immune from challenge, and that's fair enough, but why not at least start from the assumption that there's a good reason why things have been done the way they have? Any normal person would be pleased that their busy, pretty, lively local library is getting refurbished, and will have more space and facilities for kids and teens, and will be more efficient to run and warmer in winter. But no, EDT_Forumite_752 had kids who did an exam 20 years ago, and this makes them an expert on library refurbishment who can see it's all just stuff and nonsense for the green agenda and why can't it all be put off... 😡😡😡
