The Lichfield Garrick have managed to find – and hire – an A-Team star for a forthcoming production
Dirk Benedict will play Lieutenant Columbo in Prescription: Murder at the theatre in 2011, it has been confirmed.
Known by millions as Templeton ‘Faceman’ Peck in the A-Team and Lieutenant Starbuck in Battlestar Galactica, Benedict heads up the cast for the Middle Ground Theatre Company production from February 22 to 26.
The show sees Columbo take on his first case as 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 holiday. When Fleming’s wife is found dead, Columbo is brought in to investigate, and seeds of doubt are planted in his mind.
Tickets to Prescription: Murder cost from £15 to £23 and can be booked from www.lichfieldgarrick.com or by calling the box office on 01543 412121.
