Exactly 35 years since a grumpy super-sleuth with an eye for the ladies and a thirst for beer made his first appearance in Colin Dexter’s novel Last Bus To Woodstock, he is back.
This time, Colin Baker is taking on the role of Inspector Morse in a new murder mystery on tour at the Grand Opera House, York, from September 16 to 18.
In House Of Ghosts, Morse has regarded theatre director Laurence Baxter as the only truly evil man he has ever met. So what happens when, 20 years later, the inscrutable detective finds Baxter at the centre of a murder case that involves the on-stage death of a young actress?
The autumn tour is being mounted by Alma Cullen, the writer of four episodes of the ITV series, and Robin Herford, director of The Woman In Black, by special arrangement with Colin Dexter.
•Tickets for the 7.30pm evening shows and 2.30pm Saturday matinee cost £14 to £22 on 0844 847 2322 or online at grandoperahouseyork.org.uk
