When all of the major studios in Hollywood reject his newest script, a frustrated screenwriter invites you, an audience of independent movie producers, to a one-night-only live presentation of… SPY MOVIE: The Play! (The greatest spy movie never made.)

From two of the minds behind The New Musketeers (Trinity Theatre) and stars of The Play That Goes Wrong and Peter Pan Goes Wrong (West End and UK Tour), SPY MOVIE: The Play! is a new hilarious love letter to spy films, the movie business and fringe theatre, brimming with laughs, thrills, and poorly executed commando rolls. 

We’d tell you the plot, but we’d have to kill you… and we haven’t finished it yet.
