Single Spies

Nigel Havers lead a fine cast through two Allan Bennett one act plays to a triumphant last Tuesday. Firstly with Diana Quick As Corale Browne to Mr Havers as Guy Burgess, Set in Moscow 1958 Miss Brown Accepts an invitation to lunch with the double agent, his reasons no more sinister than to catch up on society gossip and to order a new suit. Moving on ten years to 1968 we see ourselves in Buckingham Palace where Anthony Blunt is renovating the Queens Paintings A Titian the folowing conversation between Queen and subject is exteaordinary to say the least. Played Superbly by Nigel & Diana on both accounts with fine support from Jack Ryder As Burgess lover in the first act and as a foofman in the second. Well worth searching out if you see it Elsewhere.
