Tom Chambers to star in INSPECTOR MORSE: HOUSE OF GHOSTS UK tour

A new co-production has been announced between Simon Friend Entertainment and Birmingham Repertory Theatre, which will see Tom Chambers play the beloved detective Inspector Morse in a thrilling new stage production, Inspector Morse: House of Ghosts. The production will open in Birmingham on 28 August ahead of a major UK tour.

The production will then visit Richmond, York, Nottingham, Bromley, Belfast, Brighton, Sheffield, Cheltenham, Woking, Norwich, Aylesbury, Liverpool, Leeds, Newcastle, Malvern, Edinburgh, Milton Keynes, Aberdeen, Glasgow, and Salford.

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. ITV’s long-running Inspector Morse, hailed by Radio Times as ‘The greatest British crime series of all time’, has inspired equally beloved spin-offs, Lewis and Endeavour. Starring Tom Chambers (Father Brown, Strictly Come Dancing) as Inspector Morse, this original story written for the stage is a must-see for fans of compelling detective stories and thrilling mysteries.

Tom Chambers said: “I am absolutely thrilled to be bringing to the stage the nationally loved character of Inspector Morse. Played by John Thaw in the TV series, it is an iconic role which audiences clearly loved alongside the Morse murder mysteries. This brand-new production is a tantalising tale, rich in story and character and even unpicks some of Morse’s closely guarded personal life. It’s going to be a fabulous evening of entertainment.”

Simon Friend, co-producer of the production adds: “Bringing the nation’s favourite detective to the stage is a very rare proposition. The genre has never been more popular, and we look forward to sharing this terrifically exciting production with audiences across the country from later this year, and continuing our ongoing collaboration with the Birmingham Repertory Theatre.”

Inspector Morse: House of Ghosts is written for the stage by Alma Cullen.
