BritishTheatre.com are pleased to bring you a series of photographs from the rehearsals rooms of the Hamsptead Theatre where Hapgood by Tom Stoppard is currently rehearsing. London 1988. The Cold War is approaching its endgame and somebody in spymaster Elizabeth Hapgood’s (Lisa Dillon) network is leaking secrets. Is her star Double Agent a Triple? The trap she sets becomes a hall of mirrors in which betrayal is personal and treachery a trick of the light. The production, directed by Howard Davies (55 Days at Hampstead Theatre, Temple at Donmar), is written by acclaimed playwright Tom Stoppard, whose many plays include The Coast of Utopia, The Real Thing and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. His screenplays also include Shakespeare in Love and Anna Karenina. The revival of this classic espionage drama is an exciting chance to see the Tom Stoppard play you’ve never seen.
