Adam Woodyatt Looking Good Dead

Following the announcement that Peter James’ latest Roy Grace novel Find Them Dead has reached No.1 in the book charts – his 17th No.1 in the UK, Peter James and producer Joshua Andrews have announced that award winning EastEnders star Adam Woodyatt will play the leading role of Tom Bryce in the World Premiere stage production of the Peter James best selling novel Looking Good Dead opening at the Churchill Theatre, Bromley on 1 April 2021 ahead of a major UK tour. www.peterjames.com

Adam Woodyatt is the longest serving cast member in “EastEnders” having appeared continuously as Ian Beale since the show began in 1985. For his portrayal of the role he was honoured in 2013 with the Lifetime Achievement Award and in 2015 after the “EastEnders” 30th Anniversary Live episode, Best Actor at the British Soap Awards. “Looking Good Dead” marks Adam’s return to stage in a play for the first time since 1982 as a 13-year-old at the National Theatre in Tom Stoppard’s “On The Razzle”.

Adam Woodyatt said today, “I am so excited to be swapping the square for the road in the world premiere stage production of Peter’s fantastic novel “Looking Good Dead”. I can’t wait to tour the UK and to experience the feeling of performing this thrilling play in front of a live audience every night. There are not many things that would persuade me to take a break from EastEnders, but this is one of them.”

       

Peter James said today “I am thrilled that Adam Woodyatt is going to star in “Looking Good Dead”. He’s a wonderful actor and I can’t wait to see him play the multi-layered character of Tom Bryce brilliantly. I’ve been humbled by the incredible reaction to my plays over the last few years and we now look forward to being able to thrill theatre audiences again, with this new play in 2021.”

Looking Good Dead is Peter’s fifth novel to be brought to the stage and follows the hugely successful productions of “The House on Cold Hill” starring Joe McFadden and Rita Simons last year, “Not Dead Enough” starring Shane Richie and Laura Whitmore in 2017, “The Perfect Murder” starring Shane Richie and Jessie Wallace in 2016 and “Dead Simple” starring Tina Hobley in 2015.
