About The Comedy About Spies
Mischief’s most critically-acclaimed adventure THE COMEDY ABOUT SPIES is ‘bigger, better and more brilliantly bungling than ever’ (Daily Mail). Don’t miss the West End’s hottest ticket at London’s Noël Coward Theatre. Mischief, the multi award-winning company behind The Play That Goes Wrong, Peter Pan Goes Wrong and The Comedy About a Bank Robbery, bring an uproarious 1960’s spy escapade, bursting with enough confused missions, tangled identities, and miscommunication to ‘leave you crying helpless tears of laughter.’ (Guardian). When a rogue British agent pilfers plans for a top-secret weapon, CIA and KGB spies converge on London’s Piccadilly Hotel in pursuit of the elusive file. ‘Marvel at the comic timing and sheer physical bravura’ (The Telegraph) of a clueless young couple, a hapless actor angling for an exciting spy movie role, and enough double agents to confuse even the sharpest operative, and you’ve got a mission that’s hilariously out of control. Do not miss original Mischief company members in this ‘breathlessly funny’ romp (TimeOut), packed full of ‘impeccable slapstick’ (Evening Standard) where laughter is the only weapon.
