Inspector Morse: House of Ghosts, visits Milton Keynes Theatre this March as part of a major UK tour.
Tom Chambers (winner of BBC 1 Strictly Come Dancing series six and Inspector Edgar Sullivan in BBC 1’s Father Brown), will lead the cast in the role of the beloved detective.
Joining Chambers in the iconic role of Morse is actor and rapper Tachia Newall (who played fan favourite, Bolton Smilie in BBC 1’s Waterloo Road, in addition to roles in ITV’s Coronation Street and BBC 1’s Doctor Who) as loyal Detective Sergeant Lewis, bringing a fresh dynamic to the beloved detective duo.
A chilling mystery unfolds when a young actress suddenly dies on stage during a performance, and Detective Chief Inspector Morse embarks on a gripping investigation. What begins as a suspicious death inquiry takes a darker turn when the legendary inspector, together with DS Lewis, uncovers a connection to sinister events in his own past, twenty-five years earlier.
Inspector Morse: House of Ghosts marks the first-ever stage adaptation of the iconic detective.
Based on the novels by Colin Dexter, the hit ITV series, starred John Thaw as the erudite Inspector, famed for his love of opera, crosswords and a fine real ale.
Alongside his trusted Sergeant, DS Lewis, played by local man Kevin Whately, the pair captivated audiences for 13 years and a total of 33 episodes with the programme’s trademark gripping mysteries, intelligent plots and memorable characters.
The series became a classic of British television, earning numerous accolades and a devoted fanbase. Dexter’s characters continue to enthral audiences, with House of Ghosts marking the latest chapter in the iconic detective’s career.
The production plays at Milton Keynes Theatre from Tue 17 – Sat 21 March.
