Inspector Morse: House of Ghosts
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.

Why see Inspector Morse: House of Ghosts?
There's Always Time For One More Pint!
Intellectual, oddly charming and with a love for classical music and crossword puzzles, Inspector Endeavour Morse from Britain's most beloved detective series returns in its first-ever major stage adaptation. Following 13 novels and a BAFTA Award-winning TV adaptation starring John Thaw, this production is not to be missed! See BBC regular Tom Chambers as the snobbish yet sympathetic Chief Inspector as the show comes to you on tour.
About Inspector Morse: House of Ghosts
Directed and written by the team who scripted the original Inspector Morse series for ITV, Inspector Morse ran for 13 years and inspired the spin-offs Lewis and Endeavour. House of Ghosts follows Morse and his trusted colleague, DS Lewis, as they investigate the mysterious on-stage death of a young actress. What begins as a suspicious death inquiry soon takes a darker turn.

Mr David
Much loved Morse takes centre stage.
The story and characters were bought to life by great performances from all of the cast. Can't say I watched morse avidly first time round but the show has inspired me to take a close look at this very British crime fighting / mystery solving character.
The theater ambience was great, loved the modular approach to how they worked the stage which kept the story moving quickily. ... Read more
A Very Original, Authentic Morse
Doing an original story of such a loved character is a brave thing to do, but the writer, director and cast do the job so well here, you'd think it was an adaptation of one of Dexter's many stories.
Tom Chambers' performance as the charming, irritable, irritating Morse brings him to life in such a unique way that's still so familiar, so very true to the Morse we know and love.
His interplay with Tachia Newall, who puts in a good shift as the ever suffering Lewis, is so good you'd think they'd been working together for years. The whole cast - small as it is - were stellar, easily avoiding being a parody of actors playing over the top versions of themselves as the plot demanded.
This was a joy to watch, gripping, intriguing, twisting and turning, doing all the right things. If it hasn't sold out it's run, come see this, it cannot disappoint in any way. ... Read more
