The American actress Ilda Orme knew a thing or two about being cancelled, a long, long time before social media put the cancel button in the hands of the public at large. Her cancellers, she suspected were two hateful former in-laws and a theatre manager in their pocket.

Her cancellation was nearly literal - culminating in an assassination attempt.

What does one do when cancelled? If you’re Ilda Orme, you seek revenge in the most public way possible.

Trigger warnings: Gun violence and false accusations leading to incarceration.

Note: This fortnight’s episode is a little shorter than usual in the hope that doing a quick firebreak episode will get me back on a two-weekly schedule. Next fortnight should be back to around half an hour again.

Sources Include:

The Battered Body Beneath The Flagstones and Other Victorian Scandals by Michelle Morgan

The Madness of Ilda Orme by Dr Nell Darby
