Inspector Rebus Heads for Theatres in Autumn

Actor Gray O Brien with author Ian Rankin

Rebus: A Game Called Malice – a Rebus drama written for the stage by Ian Rankin and Simon Reade – tours the UK in Autumn, starring Gray O’Brien.

The detective drama opens at the Cambridge Arts Theatre on August 29, before a stint at Edinburgh’s Festival theatre from September 10 – 14, with the tour continuing at theatres around the country until a stint at the Lighthouse, Poole, from November 26 – 30.

The action centres around a splendid dinner party, in an Edinburgh mansion, with a murder mystery game created by the hostess. But the guests, who include Inspector John Rebus, have secrets of their own. There are suspects, clues and danger with every twist and turn – and a shocking discovery which sends this game called ‘Malice’ hurtling towards a gasp-inducing conclusion.

Ian Rankin is the multimillion-copy award-winning bestseller of over thirty novels worldwide and creator of John Rebus. 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 BBC television series ensuring the detective’s legendary status.

Full details of the tour can be found on:
