Mission Recommences this summer in London

Mischief’s most critically acclaimed adventure The Comedy About Spies is back with a limited 8-week mission recommencing this summer in London’s West End at the Adelphi Theatre.

Following a sold-out 2025 summer season, do not miss the award-winning Best New Play (WhatsOnStage Awards 2026) from the hilarious team behind The Play That Goes Wrong, Peter Pan Goes Wrong and The Comedy About A Bank Robbery.

When a rogue British agent pilfers plans for a top-secret weapon, CIA and KGB spies converge on London’s Piccadilly Hotel in pursuit of the elusive file. Join a clueless young couple, a hapless actor angling for an exciting spy movie role, and enough double agents to confuse even the sharpest operative, in a mission that’s hilariously out of control.

This uproarious 1960’s spy escapade, bursts with enough confused missions, tangled identities, and miscommunication.
