Mischief Theatre's new 1960s spy spoof arrives in the West End with bungled missions and comic misfires.
From the team behind The Play That Goes Wrong and The Comedy About a Bank Robbery comes this riotous new farce set in the swinging sixties. The Comedy About Spies follows an international scramble for a stolen top-secret weapon blueprint, as undercover agents from across the globe descend on London’s Piccadilly Hotel. With mistaken identities, rogue briefcases, clueless civilians, and enough double-crosses to make your head spin, this is espionage at its most delightfully disastrous.
Premiering at the Noël Coward Theatre for a limited run, this latest Mischief Theatre production reunites original company members for a brand-new mission packed with misfires. Expect split-second physical comedy, winking genre spoofs, and a plot so tangled even MI6 would need a flowchart. Fans of vintage spy flicks and Mischief’s signature brand of theatrical mayhem will feel right at home.
