Firebird @ KIng's Head Theatre (until 09 Feb)

Drawing on a true-life Cold War story, FIREBIRD follows a handsome, soulful young soldier who embarks on a clandestine affair with a charismatic fighter pilot on an Air Force Base in Soviet-occupied Estonia at the height of 1970s Communist rule. The story comes to the stage for the first time after an acclaimed film by Peeter Rebane and Tom Prior (2021) which premiered at BFI Flare: Londons LGBTQI+ Film Festival. The cast are Robert Eades (Johnny Weissmuller in the film Young Woman & the Sea, Mo Dix in Bad Education), Nigel Hastings (The Forsyte Saga Parts 1 & 2, Park Theatre, Jeff in the hit two-hander And Then Come the Night Jars, Theatre503, tours, and film adaptation), Sorcha Kennedy (Rainer - Offie-nominated Lead Performance in a Play, Arcola Theatre, and Scarlet Sunday, at Omnibus Theatre) and Theo Walker (Coming Clean, Turbine Theatre). A post show Q&A will take place after the performance on 19 January after the 6pm performance - hosted by Terri Paddock, writer and arts journalist. This event will be free to ticket holders for that performance.
