"Always tricky to investigate a murder without a corpse"

London, 1950. Inspector Alan Grant, laid up in hospital, investigates the alleged crimes of Richard III and the murder of the Princes in the Tower as a "cold case file." What begins as a distraction becomes an urgent mission, as Grant tangles with two scheming Shakespearean actors, a couple of opinionated nurses, his own sceptical deputy, and a lovesick young American historical researcher to solve his case. And along the way, he might just solve the mystery of his own heart.

Based on Josephine Tey's classic novel - ranked No. 1 in the British Crime Writers' Association Top 100 Crime Novels of All Time - M. Kilburg Reedy's new play swirls together history, myth, comic disasters and irresistible romance.

Starring: Rob Pomfret (Uncle Vanya, My Cousin Rachel, A View From the Bridge, A Voyage Round My Father - all Theatre Royal Bath, The Mousetrap, West End, Rivals for Disney, The Bay and Grantchester for ITV), Rachel Pickup (The Gilded Age seasons 2 and 3, Still Life, The Merchant of Venice at Shakespeare's Globe and on international tour), Noah Huntley (The Days of Our Lives, 28 Days Later, Snow White and the Huntsman, Dracula Untold) and Sanya Adegbola (Doctor Who, EastEnders, The Merchant of Venice at Shakespeare's Globe, Titus Andronicus and The School for Scandal with the RSC, Quiz UK tour)
