As the story goes, big city stockbroker Walt Wingfield had had enough. So he packed up his bags and moved away from the rat race and stress to run a farm in the fictional Persephone Township, Ontario.

In Wingfield’s Inferno, a devastating fire leaves Orange Hall in smoldering ruins. Wingfield leads the charge to rebuild the hall, but lighting a fire under his fellow committee members is easier said than done. Is it courage they lack or is the devil in the details?

The sixth instalment in the celebrated Wingfield series, this funny one-man show stars award-winning Canadian actor Rod Beattie, who has performed as Wingfield over 4,000 times!

“Beattie is astonishingly adept at transforming himself from one character to another in a matter of seconds, calling up echoes of a crotchety Walter Brennan, a gawky Jimmy Stewart or a flustered Bob Newhart.” - The Toronto Star

“With his man-next-door face - perfect for a character like Walt - Beattie flows to other roles with a twist of the lip, the arch of an eyebrow, a different bend in the back and a wonderful array of different voices.” - The Globe and Mail
