The Spy Who Came In From The Cold

THE SPY NOVEL THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING. NOW LIVE ON STAGE.

For the first time ever, a novel by John le Carré — the undisputed master of the modern spy genre whose works include TINKER, TAILOR, SOLDIER, SPY and THE NIGHT MANAGER — is brought to life in a thrilling stage adaptation.

Starring Ralf Little (THE ROYLE FAMILY, DEATH IN PARADISE), THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD is a riveting journey through the fog-shrouded terrain of Cold War espionage, deception, and moral compromise.

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. And what of veteran spymaster George Smiley? What is his role in the operation?
