Following his role in the hugely successful nationwide tour of The Perfect Murder earlier this year award-winning actor Shane Richie is now set to return to Newcastle Theatre Royal as Peter James’ famous literary Detective Superintendent Roy Grace in the thrilling Not Dead Enough.  He will star alongside leading television presenter Laura Whitmore who is to play Cleo Morely.

Following the huge sell-out success of The Perfect Murder and Dead Simple, Peter James returns to Newcastle Theatre Royal with the world premier production of Not Dead Enough.

On the night Brian Bishop murdered his wife, he was sixty miles away, asleep in bed.  At least that's what he claims.  But as Detective Superintendent Roy Grace continues to deal with the mysterious disappearence of his own wife, he starts to dig a little deeper into the chilling murder case and it soon becomes clear that love can be a dangerous thing...

Olivier Award winner Ian Talbot directs Not Dead Enough - the third novel in Peter James' award winning Roy Grace series and the third play in his box office smash hit and critically acclaimed stage franchise. Peter has been acclaimed as ‘one of the most fiendishly clever crime fiction plotters’ (Daily Mail) and his brilliant international bestselling Roy Grace novels have been published in 37 lauguages and have sold over 18 million copies worldwide. His latest novel, Love You Dead, enjoyed 3 consecutive weeks at No.1 in the Fiction hardback charts, a new record for Peter who is also the 2016 recipient of crime writing’s highest honour, the Diamond Dagger. 

Not Dead Enough reunites Peter James with theatre producer Joshua Andrews, the Olivier award winning director Ian Talbot and award winning playwright Shaun McKenna.
