The production will head on its second UK tour next year, beginning at The Alexandra in Birmingham on the 23rd April.
It has been announced that Midsommer Murders, based on Caroline Graham’s book and the hit ITV series will embark on a second UK tour in 2027.
Adapted and directed by Guy Unsworth, it has also been announced that Daniel Casey will be returning to the role of Inspector Tom Barnaby. Talking about the news, Daniel said: “Since returning to the world of Midsomer last October, it has been such a delight to see the incredible reaction of people around the UK and Ireland to our theatre version of The Killings at Badger’s Drift and, most importantly for me, getting my dear friend John Nettles’ seal of approval after he saw it in Truro. So it is wonderful that, after such a successful first tour, we will be touring to even more venues in 2027. Thank you to all those people who have shown such love for the play and I can’t wait to bring it to a whole new audience in some wonderful new venues in 2027.
Further casting has yet to be announced.
