Rebus: A Game Called Malice

The thrilling new story, exclusively on stage!

Starring Gray O'Brien, Abigail Thaw and Billy Hartman

A splendid dinner party in an Edinburgh mansion concludes with a murder mystery game created by the hostess. A murder needs to be solved. But the guests have secrets of their own, threatened by the very game they are playing. And among them is Inspector John Rebus. True crime is his calling. Is he playing an alternative game, one to which only he knows the rules?

There are suspects, clues and danger with every twist and turn - and a shocking discovery will send this game called ‘Malice' hurtling towards a gasp-inducing conclusion.

His books have been translated into thirty-six languages and have been adapted for radio, the stage and the screen. His Rebus novels have dominated the detective fiction market with the recent television series ensuring the detective’s legendary status.

You've loved the books, been at the edge of your seat with the new TV series, now come and see Rebus live on stage.
