A stage adaptation of The Spy Who Came in From the Cold will continue its UK tour through August 2026, with new production images released from the Chichester Festival Theatre production. The tour opened March 12 at Curve Theatre and is scheduled to visit 21 venues nationwide.
The Ink Factory and Second Half Productions have announced the full cast for the extensive UK-wide tour of the Chichester Festival Theatre production of John le Carré's The Spy Who Came in From the Cold.
The main thing to know about this production is it is very, very funny. Silly, sure; but cheek-achingly funny. From the moment Nicholas Murchie's begins his high-energy rendition of 19th century everyman Sir Philip Bin, Bleak Expectations is a laugh-a-minute tumble through this naturally dramatic era.
Get a first look at the world premiere of BLEAK EXPECTATIONS, a new stage adaptation of the award-winning hit BBC Radio 4 comedy written by Mark Evans and directed by Caroline Leslie (whose previous Watermill credits include Trial by Laughter, The Wipers Times, A Bunch of Amateurs, Thoroughly Modern Millie and Radio Times).

Within the first 20 minutes of Lesley Storm's Black Ciffon, Alicia asks a?oeIs there enough gin?a?? Finally, I thought, a character I could get behind. But as Alicia's Freudian feelings for her son were diagnosed, I found that my initial assessments weren't quite apt. A smile broke on my face, offering a personal moment of levity during an otherwise middling play.
Following critical acclaim and huge demand for tickets, Trademark Touring and Watermill Theatre are pleased to announce a UK tour extension for Ian Hislop and Nick Newman's new play, Trial By Laughter.

The production is a Trademark Touring and Watermill Theatre co-production, playing at The Watermill for six weeks from Thursday 20th September - Saturday 27th October 2018. Following this, it will be heading on a UK tour visiting Guildford, Ipswich, Cheltenham and Brighton, with further venues to be announced.
