Pack of Lies

By Hugh Whitemore

Proscenium presents a play about Russian spies in semi-detached Ruislip, where conversations take place behind net curtains and no-one knows who’s telling the truth.

Bob and Barbara Jackson, and their daughter Julie, are friendly with their neighbours, the Krogers. All is well until a Scotland Yard detective asks to use the Jackson’s house as an observation post to try and unearth a couple of Soviet spies operating in the area. Hugh Whitemore’s intriguing drama is based on the Portland Spy Ring case of the early 1960s, and asks whether we can trust government officials, our neighbours, or even our parents?
