Prescription: Murder @ Preston Playhouse Theatre

Murder, manipulation and one very persistent detective arrive in a thrilling stage classic that introduced the world to Columbo long before the famous raincoat became a television icon.

Prescription: Murder is the gripping original story that launched one of crime fiction’s most beloved investigators. Stylish, sharp and packed with tension, it draws audiences into a dangerous battle of wits where appearances are carefully constructed and every conversation hides another layer of deceit.

Brilliant psychiatrist Dr Roy Flemming seems to have everything: intelligence, wealth and a glamorous life built on status and control. But beneath the polished surface lies a deadly plan. Convinced he can outsmart the law, he carefully orchestrates the perfect murder with chilling precision. There is only one obstacle standing in his way… Lieutenant Columbo.
