Take a behind the scenes look at the cast of The Comedy About Spies in rehearsal for their upcoming West End run. The award-winning production returns to the Adelphi Theatre from 1 August for a limited 8-week run.
From the creators of The Play That Goes Wrong, the West End’s longest running play, comes a comedy all about, well, spies. The award-winning The Comedy About Spies returns to the West End this summer for a limited run at the Adelphi Theatre, following a critically acclaimed and sold-out run in the West End in 2025.
This hilarious comedy is a farcical, physical double-crossing caper full of misunderstanding, miscommunication, and mistaken identity!
