John le Carré’s ultimate spy thriller hits the West End for the first time ever—The Spy Who Came in from the Cold storms @sohoplace for a chillingly good run.

The first stage adaptation of John le Carré’s Cold War classic, this West End debut dives deep into betrayal, espionage, and the cost of staying loyal.

David Eldridge (Beginning) adapts; Jeremy Herrin (People, Places and Things) directs; Rory Keenan leads a knockout cast straight from Chichester’s sold-out run.

From Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy to The Night Manager, le Carré’s works are cult favorites, and this one hits the stage for the first time. Book The Spy Who Came in from the Cold London tickets now.

Not just a spy thriller — this is a love story, a political critique, and a rare chance to see Rory Keenan and Agnes O’Casey live in a role that critics are calling “taut” and “chilling” — West End drama at its sharpest.

The story may be set in 1963, but its questions about truth, propaganda, and personal conviction still cut deep today.
