Colin Baker faces a rather daunting task later this year when he takes on the role made famous by the late great John Thaw. Oxford's finest, Inspector Morse, is to return courtesy of Calibre Productions, in a brand new stage play, 'House Of Ghosts'. Written by Alma Cullen, who was also responsible for four of the televison series' episodes, this new case for Morse has been fully endorsed by his creator, Colin Dexter. It is the first time the great detective has appeared on stage, and he will be facing an old enemy and a former lover.
Eagerly looking forward to bringing the Jaguar-driving, real ale-swilling, crossword -solving Inspector back to life, Colin Baker comments:
“More Morse! This in itself is exciting enough but for me to have the opportunity to follow in John Thaw's footsteps and bring this sullen, intuitive intellectual to life on-stage, is both daunting and very exciting. Whilst revisiting the character in Dexter's novels, I am both appalled, and greatly encouraged to discover just how many characteristics I share with the great Inspector. It's a great and fiendishly clever script - I simply can't wait”.
Casting is still taking place for Morse's sidekick, the ever loyal Lewis.
