Warde Street

Warde Street tells the story of Eddie, an ordinary man, whose life is ripped apart when his wife is killed in the July 7th 2005, London bombings.

Unable to join the masses as they return to their own version of normal, Eddie abandons London for his boy-hood home, Manchester, to heal and somehow start over. An unexpected encounter with his oldest friend, Ash, sets off a chain of events that will leave a sister fighting for the truth, a desperate father fighting for his freedom and the murky motivations of a career politician laid bare.

Warde Street is a powerful play, by new playwrite Damien Tracey, that deals with the emotional aftermath of the tragic terrorist bombings in London on July 7th.

Tribune Magazine
"Warde Street is a really excellent play, powerfully imagined and tautly written. It reminded me of early Neilson and early Kelly -- the same terrifying fury. Emotionally draining and psychologically convincing"
