John Le Carre's Masterful Thriller On Tour
Olivier Award winner Jeremy Herrin and acclaimed dramatist David Eldridge bring John le Carre's masterpiece to you on tour, beginning in March 2026 following its West End debut.

Don't miss this taut, twisting tale from the master of espionage fiction!
What Is The Story?
Alec Leamas has already been in Berlin for far too long. In the depths of the Cold War, the MI6 agent is struggling to keep track of who he's even working for - and deep down, who he actually is. Will his fragile state hold on long enough to get out of Germany? This stage adaptation of le Carre's classic thriller premiered at Chichester Festival Theatre in 2024 and delves deep into identity and morality in a brilliantly timely fashion.
