@ Theatre Royal Newcastle

Book Now

Detective Inspector John Rebus is retired but the shadows of this former life still follow him through the streets of Edinburgh. Whisky helped but now he’s denying himself that pleasure. When the daughter of a murder victim appears outside his flat, he’s back on the case and off the wagon…

Ian Rankin’s Rebus novels have dominated the detective fiction market with the ensuing television series ensuring the detective’s legendary status. Now, alongside award-winning playwright Rona Munro, Ian Rankin is bringing his beloved creation to the stage for the very first time.

Featuring Ron Donachie (Game of Thrones), who created the title role in all the BBC Radio dramatisations of the novels, as John Rebus, Cathy Tyson (Mona Lisa and Band of Gold), as Siobhan and John Stahl (Being Human and Game of Thrones) as Big Ger Cafferty.
