THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD

About the show

For the first time ever, a novel by John le Carré — the undisputed master of the modern spy genre — is brought to life in a thrilling stage adaptation. British intelligence officer Alec Leamas is weary, hardened, and ready to come in from the cold. But when Control, the Chief of the Circus, presents one final mission – dangerous, deceptive, and deeply personal – Leamas agrees to stay in the game. Dispatched into enemy territory, he finds his convictions tested and his defences breached by Liz Gold, a quietly defiant librarian whose compassion threatens to thaw his frostbitten heart. A global bestseller for over six decades and named one of TIME Magazine's All-Time 100 Novels, this is le Carré at his most incisive — a story of betrayal not only between nations, but within the human soul.
