A Gripping Tale of Soviet Spies Infiltrating Quiet Suburbia

Pack of Lies, a play by Hugh Whitemore, is the latest production being performed at the Players Theatre in Thame from 7^th – 11^th July. It follows Bob and Barbara Jackson, their daughter Julie, and their friends and neighbours, Peter and Helen Kroger, in a gripping drama about friendship, truth and betrayal.

The Jacksons are a nice middle-aged couple, living an ordinary, peaceful life in the quiet suburbia of 1960s Ruislip. Then one day a Scotland Yard detective arrives, asking to use their house as an observation station to try and foil a Soviet spy ring operating in the area. As Scotland Yard’s demands on them increase, with agents taking up residence in their house, the Jacksons become more and more put out, asking themselves: why them? why this street? They are really put to the test when the detective reveals that the spies are actually their neighbours, the Krogers, and asks them to help set a trap. But should they betray their friends?
