★★★☆☆ The play sets up camp in the film noir world of Sam Spade, Philip Marlowe and their ilk and is set in the seedy side of Hollywood during its ‘Golden Years’. With more twists than a cheese straw, some narration is inevitable in order to keep the audience up to speed with plot

★★★☆☆ Mischief Theatre have struck a seam of winning theatrical productions based on the simple premise of letting the actors loose on stage to have some fun. So, credit where credit is due, the fun has crossed the footlights and rubbed off onto the audiences who, despite some less than enthusiastic reviews, have put their hard earned money where their bums go . . .

★★★☆☆ Ben Brown’s play imagines the conversation that could have taken place at Kim Philby’s Moscow flat that cold and snowy evening, one in which Graham Greene seems determined to understand Philby’s motivation.
