Mischief's 'The Comedy About Spies' to open in the West End in 2025
Written by Mischief company members Henry Lewis and Henry Shields, The Comedy about Spies follows a British agent who steals plans for a top-secret new weapon.
Mischief have announced their next West End show The Comedy About Spies, which opens at the Noël Coward Theatre next year. Performances begin on 14 April 2025.
Written by original Mischief company members Henry Lewis and Henry Shields, and directed by Matt Di Carlo, The Comedy about Spies is set in 1960s London, and follows a British agent who steals plans for a top-secret new weapon.
When spies from the CIA and the KGB come together at London’s Piccadilly Hotel to track down the stolen documents, and run into a young British couple and an older actor auditioning for the title role in the first James Bond, this high stakes caper reaches a boiling point.
In September this year, Mischief celebrated 10 years of The Play That Goes Wrong in the West End.
Cast and further creative team is yet to be announced.
