Pack of Lies

This play is based on the true events that occurred during the Autumn and Winter of 1960 and 1961. It concerns the Gordon Lonsdale Spy Case.

The Jacksons are a pleasant middle-aged couple. Their best friends are their Canadian neighbours, Helen and Peter Kroger. All is blissful in their world until a detective from Scotland Yard asks to use their house as an observation post to try and foil a Soviet spy ring operating in the area. The Jacksons become more and more put out as Scotland Yard’s demands on them increase. They are really put to the test when the detective reveals that the spies are the Krogers and he asks them to help set a trap. Should they betray their friends?
