Spoiler Alert!
The Millennium Centre in Cardiff starts to fill prior to a performance of “The Spy Who Came In From The Cold” starring Ralf Little as Alec Leamas. For me, the plot is too complex to render effectively in a two-hour stage play, although the cast played their roles superbly.
They made more of a fist of the second half, focusing on the tribunal to determine whether or not Mundt is a British spy, and the final denouement when Leamas and his lover, Liz Gold, are killed climbing the Berlin Wall, although the final tragedy is too rushed for my taste.
