John Le Carre’s ‘The Spy Who Came In From the Cold’ Sets London West End Bow


John Le Carre's Cold War classic 'The Spy Who Came In From the Cold' to make London West End debut.

Dispatched into enemy territory, he finds his convictions tested and his defenses breached by Liz Gold, a quietly defiant librarian whose compassion threatens to thaw his frostbitten heart. The adaptation comes from award-winning playwright David Eldridge (“Beginning,” “Middle”), with Jeremy Herrin directing fresh off his acclaimed productions of “People, Places and Things” and “Long Day’s Journey Into Night.” The production will also feature John Ramm as George Smiley and Gunnar Cauthery as Hans-Dieter Mundt, with a supporting cast that includes Philip Arditti, Norma Atallah, Matt Betteridge, Ian Drysdale, Tom Kanji, and David Rubin.
