Opis

Secret terror cells, political conspiracy, police bungling, state-sponsored bomb plots... This is London, 1896. Inspired by Joseph Conrad's classic novel, The Secret Agent is theatre O's heartbreaking and hilarious chronicle of passion, betrayal and terrorism. Set at a time of social upheaval and growing disparity between rich and poor, at the heart of this tale is a woman fighting to protect her young brother from exploitation and violence. In their trademark highly imaginative style, described by the New York Times as, -vivid, enlightening, inventive and compelling-, music halland early cinema collide in theatre O's return to the stage after five years away.
-Matthew Hurt's script, created in collaboration with the company, is hard to fault. Absurdity, humour and pathos are blended in just the right measure.- - Festmag
-This puppy-like character becomes embroiled in international espionage with unexpected consequences for all involved.- - British Theatre Guide
