Inspector Morse - House of Ghosts

Tom Chambers strides through the auditorium as Inspector Morse, and heads onto stage to commence his investigations.  The story, written by Alma Cullen, intertwines friends from Morse’s past and cleverly delivers many twists and turns along the way.  Ably assisted by Lewis, played by Tachia Newall the story keeps us entertained and second guessing the whole way through.  As the story progresses, we are met with small interludes of the famous Morse theme tune composed by Australian-born Barrington Pheloung, which brings a sense of familiarity to proceedings.

The many scene changes are well orchestrated with various cast members at the forefront meaning that the action remains free flowing and never leaves an awkward gap.   Set and costume designer Colin Richmond has been able to facilitate some great spaces, including the theatre where the murder is set, the interview room at the police station and of course, Morse’s favourite watering hole, The Crown.
