Tom Stoppard - The Dog It Was That Died
Rupert is a spy, a counter-spy and a counter-counter-spy. No wonder he's suicidal. Stars Dinsdale Landen and Penelope Keith.
Rupert Purvis is a spy. He is also a counter-spy and even a counter-counter-spy. When, confused as to who his real masters are and why, he cracks and writes a suicide note making wild allegations about his colleagues and superiors, there has to be an investigation. The truths revealed are stranger than any fiction.
