Peter James' Picture You Dead

Wed 16 Apr 2025 Sat 19 Apr 2025

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 TV favourite Peter Ash, a multiple award winner in 2024, including a National Television Award for his unforgettable performance in Coronation Street, and whose previous stage credits include the Olivier Award winning War Horse, with further star casting to be announced, Picture You Dead; the seventh and latest 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 greed, 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.
