Set in 1960s London, The Comedy about Spies is a farcical, physical double-crossing caper full of misunderstanding, miscommunication, and mistaken identity. A rogue British agent steals plans for a top-secret new weapon. Spies from the CIA and the KGB assemble at London’s Piccadilly Hotel to track down the British mole and obtain the file. When a young British couple and an older actor auditioning for the title role in the first James Bond film check into the hotel, the stakes reach boiling point in this hilarious Cold War comedy.
The Comedy about Spies is written by original Mischief company members Henry Lewis and Henry Shields and directed by Matt Di Carlo. Cast and further creatives to follow.
The Comedy about Spies is presented by Kenny Wax and Stage Presence in association with Jo Danvers.
