Fifth Peter James novel to be adapted for the stage with plans to tour in 2021

Tickets are now on sale for a brand new adaptation of Peter James’ novel Looking Good Dead, which will embark on a UK tour next year.

This production marks the fifth of James’ novels to be adapted for the stage, with others including The House on Cold Hill, Not Dead Enough, The Perfect Murder and Dead Simple.

The show opens in Glasgow on 17 March 2021 prior to visiting Richmond, Dartford, Birmingham, Shrewsbury, Cardiff, Leeds, Coventry, Norwich, Brighton, Salford, Cheltenham, Milton Keynes, Newcastle, Leicester, Southampton, Southend and Nottingham.

Looking Good Dead - part of James’ Roy Grace series - follows Tom Bryce who is witness to a brutal murder, subsequently putting his family in grave danger. The novel will be adapted by Shaun McKenna and directed by Ian Talbot, both who have affiliations with James’ previous stage adaptations.

James commented: "I can scarcely believe this is the fifth of my novels to be adapted for the stage. It has been a tremendous thrill to see my characters so brilliantly brought to life, and it has been quite humbling to have seen such passion and enthusiasm, repeatedly, from audiences around the nation."
