BBC Radio 4 Extra - Inspector Morse, House of Ghosts

Oxford 1987. Morse faces dark memories and a theatrical murder mystery with nine suspects.

4 Extra Debut. Oxford 1987. Morse faces dark memories and suspects in a theatrical murder mystery. Stars Neil Pearson. Written by Alma Cullen.

An original drama written by Alma Cullen around the characters of Morse and Lewis created by Colin Dexter. The focus is on the time in Morse's career when his mind was developing its incisive edge and his personal life was at its most complex. 

The year is 1987, and Morse is at the theatre, where the young actress playing Ophelia dies on stage during a performance of Hamlet. A Suspicious Death inquiry begins. 

When a suspect is murdered, Morse becomes convinced that the two deaths do, somehow, connect with what happened at an Oxford student production of Hamlet which he was a part of in 1962.
