Picture You Dead

Superintendent Roy Grace is back in a brand-new Peter James stage adaptation and world premiere of the bestselling Picture You Dead, which has opened to rave reviews from critics and audiences alike.

Starring Strictly Come Dancing winner, presenter and stage actor Ore Oduba (Pretty Woman), Fiona Wade, who starred last year in 2:22 A Ghost Story, following 12 years in Emmerdale, 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 bestsellers to his name and the television series Grace now a huge hit on ITV, Picture You Dead, the seventh and brand-new thrilling stage adaptation, cements Peter James’ 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.
