About Midsomer Murders: The Killings at Badger’s Drift

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. Daniel’s recent television credits include EmmerdaleEastEnders and Coronation Street. Daniel’s recent theatre credits include Bernard in Yes, Prime Minister (Theatre Clywd), Laurence in Abigail’s Party (UK Tour), and Roger in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time (National Theatre).

Spend an evening in England’s deadliest county…

Written and directed by Guy Unsworth, this new theatrical adaptation is based on the book by Caroline Graham, The Killings at Badger’s Drift, and the television series Midsomer Murders produced by Bentley Productions [for ITV] in association with All3 Media International.
