Just watched “The Spy Who Came in from the Cold” it's stylish, atmospheric, brimming with tension @RalfLittle is absolutely phenomenal, pouring every ounce of energy into his role. A moody, gripping spy play, a love story at its heart. Don’t miss it! @LivEveryPlay powerful cast

This afternoon at Sheffield's Lyceum, watched the stage version of The Spy Who Came in From the Cold. An outstanding production and cast. Ralf Little was brilliant. It's on a UK tour now. Catch it. It will blow you away!

Had a brilliant time at the Festival Theatre last night watching ‘The Spy Who Came In From The Cold’ - fantastic minimalist staging and a wonderful cast. It finished in Edinburgh tomorrow, but catch it if you can.
