An adaptation of John le Carré’s The Spy Who Came in From the Cold is set to visit East Anglia as part of its UK tour later this year.
The show debuted at Chichester Festival Theatre in 2024 and is currently playing at the West End’s Soho Place, and due to finish in February.
From there it will transfer to a UK tour from March, including Norwich Theatre Royal from 16 to 20 June and Cambridge Arts from 28 July to 1 August.
The show will feature Ralf Little in the lead role of disillusioned British intelligence officer Alec Leamas.
Leamas is weary, hardened, and ready to come in from the cold. But when spymaster George Smiley presents one final mission — dangerous, deceptive, and deeply personal — Leamas agrees to stay in the game. Dispatched into enemy territory, he finds his convictions tested and his defences breached by Liz Gold, a quietly defiant librarian whose compassion threatens to thaw his frostbitten heart.
The show was originally adapted by David Eldridge and directed by Jeremy Herrin, with Joe Lichtenstein as tour director.
