Peter James’ Wish You Were Dead Tour 2023

Peter James fans will see DSI Roy Grace on stage with the stage premiere of Wish You Were Dead. The Wish You Were Dead 2023 UK tour schedule is shown below.

Wish You Were Dead tour tickets are now on sale.

The Wish You Were Dead stage play follows DSI Roy Grace and Cleo Morey as they take a much-needed holiday together. Cleo hopes that she will finally get Grace to herself for a few days and away from his crime-solving exploits. But their dream escape turns out to be the holiday from hell, as the past comes back to haunt them.

Peter James said: “I have always loved live theatre, so it’s been thrilling to watch how much audiences around the UK have loved the plays. Theatre and the escapism it provides us all is so important – particularly now. Inside the safe cocoon of a theatre, audiences love to be on the edge of their seats and sometimes shocked, always hoping when that final curtain falls, order will have been restored and the world will seem just a little bit of a better place. I am incredibly grateful for the support regional theatres and their audiences have shown our plays and it will be fantastic to see another one of my books being adapted for the stage – the sixth one! – and audiences enjoying it, in 2023.

Wish You Were Dead marks the sixth stage adaptation of Peter James’ bestselling crime novels making it the most successful crime thriller stage franchise since Agatha Christie.

Adapted by award-winning writer Shaun McKenna, who has adapted the five previous Peter James plays, the production will also reunite the creative team from Looking Good Dead, with Jonathan O’Boyle directing, Design by Michael Holt, Lighting by Jason Taylor and Sound by Max Pappenheim.
