Just One More Thing... Dirk Benedict as Lieutenant Columbo in Prescription: Murder

Legendary Lieutenant Columbo, played by A-Team and Battlestar Galagtica actor Dirk Benedict, comes to The Lowry (Mon 7 – Sat 12 June) in Middle Ground Theatre’s exciting new show Columbo - Prescription: Murder.

Psychiatrist Roy Fleming and his wife are celebrating their anniversary when he is called to deal with a female patient. On returning he has to soothe his angry wife with the promise of a vacation. When Fleming’s wife is found dead, Columbo is brought in to investigate and seeds of doubt are planted in his mind.

International star Dirk Benedict is known by millions for his roles as Templeton "Faceman" Peck in The A-Team and Lieutenant Starbuck in Battlestar Galactica. He is joined by acclaimed British actor Patrick Ryecart (films include include Michael Winner’s Parting Shots, Ken Russell’s Prisoner of Honour and Sir Richard Attenborough’s A Bridge Too Far) plus Brookside’s Karen Drury and a full supporting cast.

This is the first time Columbo has ever toured the UK in a theatre production and is one of the must-see productions of 2010
