Based upon the true story of a meeting in Moscow between noted English actress Coral Browne and notorious spy Guy Burgess, this is a touching portrait of a lonely man torn between his Marxist principals and his ironic longing for contact with the upper class in Britain from whom he sprung. A success at The National Theatre of Great Britain, where it was paired with A Question of Attribution as Single Spies and subsequently proved equally successful in Londons West End.
This unusual double bill of one act plays is about two of the most celebrated spies of modern times: Guy Burgess and Anthony Blunt. Single Spies won the 1990 Olivier Award, Best Comedy. It includes An Englishman Abroad and A Question of Attribution.
