Tom Chambers to star as Inspector Morse at Glasgow’s Theatre Royal

Glasgow’s Theatre Royal is today delighted to announce Tom Chambers will play the beloved detective Inspector Morse in a thrilling new stage production, Inspector Morse: House of Ghosts, a coproduction between Simon Friend Entertainment and Birmingham Repertory Theatre.

The production arrives in Glasgow from Tuesday 31 March – Saturday 4 April as the final Scottish date on this major UK tour.

A chilling mystery unfolds 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. Starring Tom Chambers (Father Brown, Strictly Come Dancing) as Inspector Morse, this original story written for the stage is a must-see for fans of compelling detective stories and thrilling mysteries.

Tom Chambers says of taking on the role of the legendary detective: “I am absolutely thrilled to be bringing to the stage the nationally loved character of Inspector Morse. Played by John Thaw in the TV series, it is an iconic role which audiences clearly loved alongside the Morse murder mysteries. 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.”
