Murder comes to the countryside in the theatrical world premiere of the critically acclaimed television favourite Midsomer Murders.
When well-loved spinster Emily Simpson is found dead in the picturesque village of Badger’s Drift, her friend Lucy Bellringer refuses to accept it was an accident. DCI Tom Barnaby and Sergeant Gavin Troy are called in to investigate, uncovering a world of hidden passions, long-buried secrets and deadly rivalries.
With eccentric villagers, shocking twists and an unforgettable reveal, The Killings at Badger’s Drift is a classic whodunnit that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats. Bringing to life the wit, charm and chilling suspense of the beloved TV series and original series of books, this gripping and thrilling new show is set to delight audiences.
Daniel Casey, who created the role of Sergeant Troy in ITV’s Midsomer Murders, now returns to play the role of Inspector Tom Barnaby.
