FEW would claim not to be intrigued by the Secret Service’s shadowy world, and Wellington’s Theatre Company is giving us the inside track with an award-winning Alan Bennett favourite.
On March 26-29, WTC directors Colin Marshall and Paul Smith present Single Spies, Bennett’s double bill of spy drama, at Wellington Arts Centre.
The first is An Englishman Abroad, in which Marshall directs and Smith plays spy Guy Burgess, and the second is A Question of Attribution, focusing on Anthony Blunt (directed by Smith).
Burgess, a British intelligence officer and Foreign Office official, belonged to the Cambridge Five spy ring who passed Western secrets to the Soviets before and during the Cold War.
Fellow C5 member Blunt was a British art historian exposed as a Soviet spy.
