As we all celebrated getting through our first preview last Tuesday night, I spotted an audience member out of the corner of my eye. We had spoken after the show and he congratulated me on the script and everyone's performances. We chatted for a few moments before he made his way outside and sat at one of the tables. Now as he sat there I couldn't help but notice a sadness in his demeanour. I thought no more of it and continued the first night debrief in the bar with our director Jenny Eastop. I found out from a mutual friend of our cast who had spoken to this chap that he had in fact been on the train directly behind one of the trains that blew up that day and hadn't talked about it since.

Set in the aftermath of the 2005 London Bombings, Warde Street looks at what happens when you are unable to forgive and instead seek revenge, and at how politics and terrorism have become intrinsically linked in particular when it comes to election time.
