Goodbye to an Old Friend by BRIAN FREEMANTLE adapted by BRUCE BEEBY with George Parsons Garard Green and Gordon Whiting
When the senior member of a Russian scientific team at the Paris Air Show seeks political asylum in the British
Embassy and asks to join his brother-in-law, already being debriefed in England, the authorities can't believe their luck. And yet ... his interviewer is uneasy about this new defection - something doesn't quite add up.
Directed by MARGARET ETALL
(Gordon Whiting is a National Theatre player) (Repeated: Mon 3.2 pm)
