Description: In Single Spies, Alan Bennett has adapted his witty and touching television film about Guy Burgess, An Englishman Abroad, into a one-act play, and written a companion piece, A Question of Attribution, about Anthony Blunt.

An Englishman Abroad, directed by Bennett, is the true story of Coral Browne's (Prunella Scales) meeting with Burgess (Simon Callow) in Moscow in 1958.

In A Question of Attribution, directed by Simon Callow, Blunt (Alan Bennett) investigates a puzzling picture and in the process is himself investigated.

Both plays were produced at the National Theatre in 1988. Cover photo courtesy of the Hulton Picture Library.
