Wallace to star in new West End play

Jessie Wallace will take to the West End stage next month in new thriller Haunted.

The ex-EastEnder plays one of five guests attending a dinner party at a loft apartment in London. As the evening progresses, they face the possibility that the venue is haunted and that the lift in the living room is a portal for evil spirits.

The Paul Jepson-helmed production also stars Gary McDonald (EastEnders), Hamish Clark (Monarch of the Glen), Caroline Catz (Doc Martin) and Sue Devaney (Casualty).

Wallace made her West End debut taking over from Denise Van Outen in the musical Rent Remixed last December.

She recently finished filming the new series of ITV drama Wild at Heart.

Haunted has a limited West End run at London's Arts Theatre from May 24 to June 14.
