Production Details:

A chilling mystery begins 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.
