A thrilling murder mystery based on Ian Rankin’s bestselling series is coming to Cheltenham's Everyman Theatre this November 2024.

You've loved the books, been at the edge of your seat with the new TV series, now, take the opportunity to see Rebus live on stage during its UK tour when award-winning, multi-million-copy bestseller Sir Ian Rankin and co-writer Simon Reade bring legendary detective thriller, Rebus: A Game Called Malice, to Cheltenham's Everyman Theatre.  

A thrilling new story, exclusively on stage from Tuesday 5 to Saturday 9 November 2024, audiences follow as a somewhat drunken, but splendid dinner party in an Edinburgh stately home concludes with a murder mystery game created by the hostess.

A murder needs to be solved... but the parlour game may hold clues about the dark truths hiding just under the surface of this genteel gathering with guests having secrets of their own, threatened by the very game they are playing.

Among them is inspector John Rebus — an ex-detective, true crime is his calling. But is he playing an alternative game, one to which only he knows the rules?

There are suspects, clues and danger with every twist and turn — and a shocking discovery will send this game called ‘Malice' hurtling towards a shock-inducing conclusion.
