Author Colin Dexter’s crossword-solving, ale-supping, classical music-loving Oxford detective is back in business, this time on stage. 

On the back of a series of well-received novels, Morse became a household name in the 1980s and 90s courtesy of actor John Thaw, who played him in 33 feature-length television episodes. Spin-off shows Lewis and Endeavour followed in the 21st century - and now the cerebral sleuth is making a welcome return in the form of Strictly Come Dancing’s Tom Chambers. 

This brand-new stage adaptation, based on an original story, finds Morse investigating the on-stage death of a young actress, and in the process uncovering a connection to sinister events in his own dim and distant past.
