Win tix to see Michael Frayn’s ‘Spies’ at the Lowry!
April 14, 2008

This competition is now closed and the answer is Noises Off.
Congratulations to Ruth Slater. Enjoy the show!
Did you enjoy Noises Off and Copenhagen? The writer that connects them is celebrated playwright/author, Michael Frayn. His novel Spies has been adapted into a play by Theatre Alibi and it opens in Manchester in May.To celebrate the return of Frayn, we have two tickets up for grabs.
THE SHOW:
Spies is a bittersweet evocation of childhood with a gripping mystery at its heart. Set during the Second World War in a quiet suburban cul-de-sac where gardens - and dark secrets - lie behind neatly trimmed privet hedges, Stephen and his friend Keith play at detectives.
But the game changes gear when Keith announces that his own mother is a German spy. The hunt is on in deadly earnest and nothing will ever be the same again.
“Theatre Alibi is one of Britain’s most inventive companies.” The Guardian.
Michael Frayn is an award-winning playwright and novelist whose numerous stage triumphs include Donkeys Years, Noises Off, Copenhagen and Democracy. His novels include Headlong, Towards the End of the Morning and Spies, which won the Whitbread Novel of the Year award.
