Single Spies originally opened at the National Theatre in 1988 and went on to become a major international hit, winning the Olivier Award for 'Best Comedy'. The two plays
An Englishman Abroad and
A Question of Attribution sparkle with Alan Bennett's trademark wit.
In An Englishman Abroad, the famous actress Coral Brown (Diana Quick) accepts an invitation to lunch with double agent Guy Burgess (Nigel Havers), living in exile in a seedy Moscow apartment. She finds a man longing for society gossip and a new suit from his London tailor. In A Question of Attribution, Her Majesty The Queen (Diana Quick) happens upon the eminent art historian Anthony Blunt (Nigel Havers) replacing one of her favourite Titians. The painting is a fake, but is The Queen also aware that her enigmatic servant is actually the traitorous 'fourth man'?
