Single Spies by Alan Bennett

Single Spies is an intriguing double bill of plays , each play being about two of the most notorious spies in British history – Guy Burgess and Anthony Blunt.

The first play, known as An Englishman Abroad is based on the true story of a meeting in Moscow between noted English actress Coral Browne and notorious spy Guy Burgess, and is a touching portrait of a lonely man, torn between his Marxist principals and his ironic longing for contact with the upper class in Britain from whom he sprung. The second play, A Question of Attribution, is about Anthony Blunt, the Surveyor of the Queen’s Pictures, at the point when he is coming under suspicion and is being quizzed by MI5 about his association with Guy Burgess, whom he had met at Cambridge. How many others were implicated and how much does the Queen know?
