DSI Roy Grace returns in UK tour of PICTURE YOU DEAD
Having recently received the prestigious acclaim of being Her Majesty the Queen’s favourite literary Detective, Superintendent Roy Grace is back on stage in early 2025 in a brand new major six-month UK tour of Picture You Dead, adapted from the UK's number one crime writer Peter James' bestselling novel.
Picture You Dead is the seventh Peter James book to be adapted for the stage by award-winning writer Shaun McKenna.
Peter James said: “From early childhood, I have always passionately loved live theatre and the sense of the shared experience that comes with it - surprise, suspense, shock, laughter and the entire range of human emotions. With Josh Andrews' brilliant producing, Shaun McKenna’s very clever adaptation and Jonathan O’Boyle’s masterly and inventive directing, I’m confident that Picture You Dead is going to be my best adaptation yet and I hope everyone who comes to see it will have a fantastic time!”
Back home in Brighton, DSI Grace investigates a cold case that leads him to the rarified air of fine art, but beneath the respectable veneer lurks a dark underworld of greed, deception and murder.
When one unsuspecting couple unearth a potentially long-lost masterpiece, they discover that their dream find is about to turn into their worst nightmare and only Grace can stop them from paying the ultimate price.
The tour will open in High Wycombe on 6 February 2025, before visiting Woking, Southampton, Brighton, Nottingham, Richmond, Malvern, Norwich, Salford, Shrewsbury, Milton Keynes, Newcastle, New Brighton, Cheltenham, Sheffield, Glasgow, Bath, Birmingham, Truro, Bradford and Southend.
