Director Roy Stevens said: “Written by Hugh Whitemore, it tells the story of the Portland spy ring and reads like a Cold War thriller – Soviet agents with assumed identities, a secret radio transmitter and microdots hidden in books. But the story didn't play out in West Berlin or Washington DC, but in the London suburb of Ruislip.

“This is a gripping true life drama of deception and betrayal which many will recall from the 1960s. This is an outstanding piece of drama that will have you in tears one moment and laughing the next. Don’t miss this true-life story that will stay with you long after the final curtain.”
