About this Event

Do you love reading and going to the theatre? Then head on over to the Festival Theatre website to book your tickets to the book group .

Do you want to dig in deep to the original story before seeing its adaptation? This collaborative book club from Blackwell’s and Capital Theatres is just the thing to take you from page to stage and ignite some fascinating conversations.

In our Spring season we’ll dive into Colin Dexter’s Inspector Morse: Morse’s greatest mystery and other stories before watching a brand new Morse story on stage.

Morse had solved so many mysteries in his life. Was he now, he wondered, beginning to glimpse the solution to the greatest mystery of them all . . . ? Morse’s Greatest Mystery and Other Stories is a dazzling collection of short stories from Inspector Morse’s creator, Colin Dexter. It includes six ingenious cases for the world’s most popular fictional detective – plus five other tantalizingly original tales to delight all lovers of classic crime fiction.

If you’ve read or watched any other Inspector Morse stories, you’re also welcome to come along before we watch a brand new story on stage.

YOU WILL NEED TO BOOK YOUR TICKET ON THE FESTIVAL THEATRE WEBSITE, this is an information page. .
