Inspired by both the TV series and the original Colin Dexter novels, this intriguing incarnation of the unassuming, stoically-reserved, often grumpy Inspector takes its cue firmly from theatrical history. Opening with a performance from Shakespeare's Hamlet, a young professional actress playing Ophelia dies suddenly mid-performance. Inspector Morse is immediately on the scene, having been in the audience. The stage is cordoned off and becomes a fully fledged murder scene. The plot delves deep into Morse's past as a student in Oxford, uniting him with 'ghosts' from his past. By giving us an insight into some of the events that shaped Morse's life in years to come, this show is a real treat for the Morse fan. Suitable for 10yrs+
