When George Blake, the Russian spy, and Sean Bourke, an Irish petty criminal, meet in prison they strike up a friendship. Bourke believes, in common with many, that Blake's 40 year prison sentence was excessive and unjust. Their journey, from Wormwood Scrubs to a bed-sitter in London and on to Moscow, makes this a fascinating and entertaining tale from the pen of one of our finest and most distinguished playwrights.
