The Comedy About Spies and Hotel Packages
They’ve done it again! Award-winning company Mischief Theatre Company (the ones behind The Play That Goes Wrong, and Peter Pan and Christmas Carol) has brought The Comedy About Spies to London. Book Your Theatre Break now.
Mischief’s most critically acclaimed adventure The Comedy About Spies is back, ‘bigger, better and more brilliantly bungling than ever’ (Daily Mail), with a limited 8-week mission recommencing summer 2026 in London’s West End at the Adelphi Theatre.
The Comedy About Spies, written by Mischief’s Henry Lewis and Henry Shields, is set in the 1960s, when a rogue British agent pilfers plans for a top-secret weapon, CIA and KGB spies converge on London’s Piccadilly Hotel in pursuit of the elusive file. ‘Abandon yourself to the madness’ (The Times) and join a clueless young couple, a hapless actor angling for an exciting spy movie role, and enough double agents to confuse even the sharpest operative, in a mission that’s hilariously out of control.
