A literary landmark. The theatrical event of the Autumn.

For the first time on stage, John le Carré’s The Spy Who Came In From The Cold brings Cold War espionage to life in the thrilling West End premiere.

Intelligence officer Alec Leamas is burned out and ready to retire—until one last, dangerous mission forces him back into the shadows. Infiltrating enemy territory, he finds his beliefs tested and his heart stirred by a quietly defiant librarian, Liz Gold.



Adapted by David Eldridge and directed by Jeremy Herrin, this gripping production explores betrayal, deception, and personal sacrifice in a morally complex world where trust is a weapon—and love, a liability.
