About The Comedy About Spies
From Mischief Theatre, the team behind the Tony and Olivier-winning The Play That Goes Wrong, comes a brand new hilarious spy caper: The Comedy About Spies. Book tickets on TodayTix.
Be transported to 1960s London when a rogue British agent pilfers the plans for a new weapon. The ensuing chaos brings the CIA and the KGB together at London’s Piccadilly Hotel. As they seek to track down the thief, they have numerous hilariously botched missions and moments of mistaken identity. The situation finally comes to a head when a young couple and an actor auditioning for the James Bond film check into the hotel.

More information about The Comedy About Spies
The Comedy About Spies is a play by Henry Lewis and Henry Shields, who are original members of Mischief Theatre. Together, they crafted an action-packed comedy. As Shields explained, “I think (it’s been) four years now since we first started on this project. It originally came about as a vague idea to do some sort of comedy about spies…since then, there have been so so many drafts.”
The Comedy About Spies in London has an excellent creative team which includes direction by Matt Dicarlo (The Play That Goes Wrong), set design by David Farley (Little Shop of Horrors), costume design by Deborah Andrews (Patriots), sound design and composition by Jon Fiber (The Canterville Ghost) for jollygoodtunes.
The play had a sneak peek of its opening scene in November 2024 at The Royal Variety Performance and aired in December 2024 on ITV1. This staging at Noël Coward Theatre is the world premiere of the entire production.
