 Wish You Were Dead

Following on from five hit stage shows and the new acclaimed ITV series, GRACE, the work of best
selling author, Peter James returns to Edinburgh, with the world premiere stage adaption of WISH YOU
WERE DEAD
.

An all-star cast includes George Rainsford, who returns to the stage after eight years as
Ethan Hardy in BBC One’s Casualty, Clive Mantle, much loved for many roles including Casualty,
Game of Thrones and the iconic ‘puddle’ scene in Vicar of Dibley and the multi-talented actress,
novelist, podcaster and winner of ‘I’m A Celebrity’, Giovanna Fletcher.

When Detective Superintendent Roy Grace and Cleo Morey take their first holiday together, they
hope 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.

Adapted exclusively for the stage, Wish You Were Dead is the latest thrilling instalment of the Grace
Series – the most successful modern-day crime stage franchise, since Agatha Christie.

A thoroughly entertaining night out and I would highly recommend it
