Description
All cats are alike in the dark.
For the first time ever, a novel by John le Carré is brought to life in a thrilling stage adaptation by award-winning playwright David Eldridge (Beginning, Middle & End).
Alec Leamas is ready to come in from the cold but when Control, the Head of the British Secret Intelligence Service, presents one final mission he agrees to stay in the game. However, Leamas has committed a cardinal error: he's fallen in love. And what is veteran spymaster George Smiley's role in the operation? After a lifetime of deception and betrayal, can there be room for humanity in the ruthlessly manipulative world of international espionage?
Following a sold-out run at Chichester Festival Theatre, this edition was published to coincide with the West End premiere production at @sohoplace in November 2025.
