About This Event

The Spy Who Came in from the Cold brings John le Carre's masterpiece of espionage fiction to the stage for the first time. This gripping adaptation by David Eldridge stars Ralf Little as weary intelligence officer Alec Leamas, alongside Tony Turner as George Smiley. Following a sold-out run at Chichester Festival Theatre and a West End season, this taut Cold War thriller follows Leamas on one final, dangerous mission into enemy territory.
