Peter James' Wish You Were Dead
The work of bestselling author Peter James returns to the stage with an all-star cast including Casualty’s George Rainsford and Clive Mantle plus the multi-talented Giovanna Fletcher.
When Detective Superintendent Roy Grace and Cleo Morey take their first holiday together, they hope for a few days away from their dark worlds of murder and the mortuary. But their dream escape turns out to be the holiday from hell.
Adapted exclusively for the stage, Wish You Were Dead is Peter James’ latest thrilling instalment of the Grace series.
