Written by Alan Bennett and directed by Margaret Johnson
In what appears to be a very English scene, Hilary and Bron are sitting peacefully on a verandah, when Hilary’s sister and her husband show up. But this is more than just a family visit, and it is soon revealed that all is not as it appears. Bennett deftly uses the backdrop of a 1970s Cold War spy story to explore questions of loyalty, betrayal and national identity in this suspenseful and entertaining play.
