Camberley Theatre in Surrey will host a live true-crime event on 3 November 2026, featuring a former undercover officer who spent over a decade working undercover and infiltrating criminal gangs. The show gives local residents the opportunity to hear first-hand investigative stories and ask questions without having to travel to a larger city.
Peter Bleksley, a former Metropolitan Police undercover detective (a founding member of the SO10 undercover unit) and known for his role on Channel 4’s Hunted, will lead the evening titled The Makings of a Murderer: The Undercover Detective. The event, produced by Entertainers, moves away from standard lectures to focus on the personal risks of police work and the reality of living under a secret identity.
Those attending Camberley Theatre will see a mix of live storytelling and multimedia material followed by a chance to ask the detective questions about his time in the police force. The theatre, which is owned and managed by Surrey Heath Borough Council, is hosting the talk as part of its autumn programme to bring high-profile investigative storytelling to the local community.
Tickets for the evening are available for £30; the event starts at 7:30pm and can be booked through the theatre box office or via the Datathistle website. According to the show’s producers, previous “Makings of a Murderer” tours have sold more than 150,000 tickets across the United Kingdom.
