The first production images of the world premiere of The Comedy About Spies, which began previews last night at the Noël Coward Theatre, have been released today. The photos, captured by Mark Senior, showcase the cast in action.

The Comedy About Spies stars members of the original Mischief Company: Dave Hearn, Chris Leask, Henry Lewis, Charlie Russell, Henry Shields, Greg Tannahill, and Nancy Zamit. Adele James makes her Mischief debut in this production. They are joined by ensemble members Macadie Amoroso, Adam Byron, Matt Cavendish, Allie Dart, Niall Ransome, and Ashley Tucker.

Mischief, the multi award-winning company behind The Play That Goes Wrong, Peter Pan Goes Wrong, and The Comedy About a Bank Robbery, brings an uproarious 1960s spy escapade to London’s Noël Coward Theatre. The show is bursting with bungled missions, tangled identities, and miscommunication that’s anything but covert.

       

When a rogue British agent pilfers plans for a top-secret weapon, CIA and KGB spies converge on London’s Piccadilly Hotel in pursuit of the elusive file. Add to the mix a clueless young couple, a hapless actor angling for the role of James Bond, and enough double agents to confuse even the sharpest operative, and you’ve got a mission that’s hilariously out of control.

Written by original Mischief Company members Henry Lewis and Henry Shields, The Comedy About Spies will have its Gala Night on Tuesday, 13 May 2025, and finish its limited run on Friday, 5 September 2025.
