Following on from five hit stage shows and the new acclaimed ITV series, Grace, the work of best-selling author, Peter James returns to Leeds Grand Theatre from 2 – 6 May 2023, with the world premiere stage adaption of Wish You Were Dead.
This will be the sixth stage adaptation of Peter James’ best-selling novels, making it the most successful crime thriller stage franchise since Agatha Christie. Casualty’s George Rainsford will star as James’s famous detective DSI Roy Grace, alongside TV and theatre legend Clive Mantle, who will star as Curtis, and Coronation Street’s Katie McGlynn who will make her stage debut as Cleo Morey. Leon Stewart will return to the role of DS Glenn Branson, having previously starred in another Peter James stage adaptation, Looking Good Dead.
The stage play of Wish You Were Dead follows DSI Roy Grace and Cleo Morey as they take a much-needed holiday together. They are hoping 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, as the past comes back to haunt them.
Previous Peter James novels brought to the stage include Looking Good Dead which premiered last year, starring Adam Woodyatt and Gaynor Faye; The House on Cold Hill, starring Joe McFadden and Rita Simons in 2019; Not Dead Enough, starring Shane Richie and Laura Whitmore in 2017; Dead Simple, starring Tina Hobley in 2015 and The Perfect Murder, starring Les Dennis and Claire Goose in 2014.
