Two Corrie Bad Lads are Not Dead Enough

Two ex-Coronation Street actors are starring in a stage play of Peter James' Not Dead Enough.

Bill Ward, who played Charlie Stubbs in Corrie is sharing the stage with Stephen Billington, who played Corrie's Greg Kelly aka Les Battersby's son.

Bill Ward plays the role of DS Roy Grace in the "chilling stage play" and here's the science bit:

"On the night Brian Bishop murdered his wife, he was sixty miles away, asleep in bed. At least that’s what he claims. But as Detective Superintendent Roy Grace continues to deal with the mysterious disappearance of his own wife, he starts to dig a little deeper into the chilling murder case and it soon becomes clear that love can be a dangerous thing... Not Dead Enough, will have you on the edge of your seat and guessing right to the end
