Review: THE COMEDY ABOUT SPIES, Adelphi Theatre

|
By Franco Milazzo

Set in 1961, the same year that a balding former milkman and coffin-polisher from Edinburgh was interviewed for the role of James Bond, The Comedy About Spies sees two pairs of agents (one American, one Russian) face off in London’s Piccadilly Hotel as they hunt for the mysterious “Project Midnight” documents. This being a slice of classic Mischief Theatre tomfoolery, there’s no prizes for guessing just how smoothly everything will go. No prizes, but perhaps a few surprises.

Packed to the brim with illusions and disillusionment, it quickly becomes clear that Now You See Me Live is only a magic show in one sense of the word. Maybe that’s because the much-vaunted connection to the title's film trilogy is thin enough to walk the runway in Paris Fashion Week.

The tall, dark and handsome Luca swaggers into Harmony (population 375, and dropping) looking less like a drifter than an escapee from a protein powder advert, and Matthew Bourne's dance-noir wastes no time weaponising that effect. Under a sign reading "Man Wanted," the garage owner Dino offers him work and his wife Lana offers considerably more; before the interval is out, so has the gentle mechanic Angelo. Man wanted, indeed.
