The Spook

02 Nov 2021 – Stage Manager

A fast-paced, heartfelt show grounded in truth and weighted by our history.

Inspired by the true story of a young man who was recruited by ASIO in the 1960s, Melissa Reeves combines raucous comedy, wit, and humour with Australian politics, in a story that is fast-paced and heartfelt.

Underneath the banter, scenes, and outrageous dialogue, lie some very important themes – communism, conservatism, relationships with others, relationships with oneself, and spying.
