Casino Royal…ty Free (Guildhall) A side-splitting spy parody by Two’s A Crowd Productions
Three actors. Dozens of characters. Zero actual spy training.
London, 1951. Gideon Slate, Britain’s most “competent-ish” secret agent, is armed with a gun, a tux from the charity shop, and no emotional regulation whatsoever. His mission? To outwit shady villains, survive questionable disguises, and maybe - just maybe - make it to the interval without getting shot.
From the company that brought The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Three Musketeers and The 39 Steps to the stage comes a riotous rollercoaster of espionage, idiocy and international intrigue. Expect high stakes, terrible accents, confused henchmen and evil plots.
A tale of espionage, love and betrayal - think James Bond meets Monty Python. Perfect for fans of Austin Powers, The Play That Goes Wrong and all gloriously over-the-top theatre.
Casino Royal…ty Free. You Only Laugh Twice.
