Midsomer Murders: The Killings at Badger's Drift

Murder comes to the countryside in the theatrical world premiere of the critically acclaimed television favourite Midsomer Murders
A slice of cake, a broken teacup with spilled tea, and a knife with a red stain on a white tablecloth, against a blurred English village background, advertising "Midsomer Murders."

When popular village resident Emily Simpson is found dead in the idyllic village of Badger’s Drift, her friend Lucy Bellringer is convinced there is more to the story than a tragic accident.

As DCI Tom Barnaby and Sergeant Gavin Troy begin their investigation, they uncover hidden passions, long-buried secrets and deadly rivalries lurking beneath the surface.

With eccentric characters, unexpected twists and a gripping mystery at its heart, Midsomer Murders: The Killings at Badger's Drift brings the wit, charm and suspense of the beloved television series and bestselling books to the stage in a thrilling new adaptation.

Daniel Casey, who originally played Sergeant Troy in ITV's Midsomer Murders, returns to the world of Midsomer as Inspector Tom Barnaby. His recent television credits include Emmerdale, EastEnders and Coronation Street, while his stage work includes Yes, Prime Minister (Theatr Clwyd), Abigail's Party (UK Tour) and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time (National Theatre).

Spend an evening in England's deadliest county...
