The espionage double - An Englishman Abroad and A Question of Attribution - is a pointedly satirical snapshot of two members of the infamous ‘Cambridge Five’.

Olivier Award-nominated Rachel Kavanaugh directs Nicholas Farrell as Guy Burgess, Belinda Lang as Coral Browne and Her Majesty the Queen and David Robb as Anthony Blunt.

Single Spies is at Leeds Grand Theatre from April 12 to April 16.

Tickets are priced £19.50 to £35. For more visit leedsgrandtheatre.com.
