The Jacksons are a nice middle-aged English couple with a teenage daughter. Their best friends are their Canadian neighbours, the Krogers.
All is blissful in their world until a detective from Scotland Yard asks to use their house as an observation base to investigate suspicious activity in their street. 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 Krogers are actually Soviet spies and he asks the Jacksons to help set a trap. Should they betray their friends?
Pack of Lies is based on the true story of a network of Soviet espionage active in 1960 known as the Portland Spy Ring, which had threatened to undermine sensitive Royal Navy submarine research. At the heart of the play lies the dilemma facing ordinary people of whether or not personal bonds between friends should be stronger than bonds with the state.
A gripping drama, not to be missed.
