About the Show
Hot on the heels of the latest instalment of the acclaimed ITV Series GRACE, Superintendent Roy Grace is back in a brand-new Peter James stage adaptation and world premiere of the bestselling Picture You Dead.
Starring 2024’s multiple award-winning actor Peter Ash (Coronation Street, War Horse), Strictly Come Dancing winner, presenter and stage actor Ore Oduba (Pretty Woman, The Rocky Horror Show), Fiona Wade, who starred this year in 2:22 A Ghost Story following 12 years in Emmerdale, Jodie Steele (Wicked, Bonnie and Clyde, Heathers) and with Casualty’s George Rainsford (Call the Midwife, 2:22 A Ghost Story) returning as DSI Roy Grace.
With a total of 20 Sunday Times best sellers to his name, Picture You Dead, the seventh thrilling stage adaption, cements Peter James’s Grace Series as the most successful modern-day crime stage franchise since Agatha Christie.
Back home in Brighton, DSI Grace investigates a cold case that leads him to the secretive world of fine art, but beneath the respectable veneer lurks a dark underworld of deception and murder.
When one unsuspecting couple unearth a potentially priceless masterpiece, they discover that their dream find is about to turn into their worst nightmare, and only Grace can stop them from paying the ultimate price.
