Attending theatre shows isnt something I have done that much of. For no specific reason really, its just sadly worked out that way. Last year Annette and I attened the Royal in Liverpool to see the stage play ‘Hope’ and it was such a fantastic night out. A theatrical far outweighs the feeling you get from watching a film on a screen, adding an extra dimension and a sense of realism and pure entertainment that is hard to match with a camera.

I said back then and I remind myself now. Heading out to see some theatre shows is most detinately still on my list of things I want to do more often.

Add to that when I saw that one of my most favourite actresses was headed to the stage, I knew I wanted to tell you all about Wildefire. Showing at the Hampstead Theatre. So for those of you in walking, driving, or train range to Hampstead. Do check out Wildefire if you can, and do let me know how great it is. Ive seen Lorraine in more films than i can count (well actually I could count them – 18 so far) and I bet shes fantastic on stage,

 Wildefire

(until the 29th of November)

The show is set in South London. In the present day.

Gail Wilde (played by the fantastic Lorraine Stanley) is an average policewoman, but one who lives up to her nickname, yes her nickname is the title of this stage play. ‘WILDEFIRE’

When suspicions surround Gail’s professional conduct things reach fever pitch after a fellow officer is involved in a serious incident whilst on the beat.

Things carry on spiralling out of control with wild conspiracy theories and rumours.

A cycle of accusations and recrimination ensues, spiralling out of control.

I cant say highly enough how great it is to watch a story unfold on a stage. 

I wish the cast and crew of this show and all at the Hamstead Theatre, a great run of the show.
