Review: THE COMEDY ABOUT SPIES, Adelphi Theatre
by Franco Milazzo - Aug 10, 2026

Set in 1961, the same year that a balding former milkman and coffin-polisher from Edinburgh was interviewed for the role of James Bond, The Comedy About Spies sees two pairs of agents (one American, one Russian) face off in London’s Piccadilly Hotel as they hunt for the mysterious “Project Midnight” documents. As this is from Mischief Theatre, there’s no prizes for guessing just how straightforward and successful they will be.
