This weekend, beginning Saturday, November 14, L.A. Theatre Works will air Pack of Lies by Hugh Whitemore, starring Julian Sands, David Selby, RoxAnne Hart, Rosalind Ayres and Martin Jarvis. The broadcast can be heard locally in Southern California on Saturday from 10 pm to midnight on KPCC 89.3 FM, and can also be streamed on demand at http://www.latw.org/.

Actual events during the Cold War inspired this thriller that takes place in a suburb of London during the winter of 1961. Loyalty, duty and friendship collide when the Jacksons slowly discover that the Krogers, their neighbors and cherished friends, are not exactly who they appear to be.
