Spring Tour 2007

For spring 2007, we are touring our successful political thriller Cyprus, which ran for a summer on Mull in 2005, and then for 5 weeks at the Trafalgar Studios in London, where it received critical acclaim:

“Arnott…tightens the dramatic noose thrillingly as the tables turn to devastating effect…” Nicholas de Jongh, Evening Standard

“…a taut, intelligent three-hander … the vectors of who means what to whom are played out with le Carré-like understatement…” Ian Shuttleworth, Financial Times

“…totally gripping – as exciting (and improbable) as an episode of ‘Spooks’” Robert Shore, Time Out

“The combination of claustrophobic, domestic powerplay and speculative spy thriller gives a particular sense of what a James Bond movie might be like if it was written by Harold Pinter.” Mark Brown, Sunday Herald

CYPRUS by Peter Arnott

As the War on Terror grinds on from failure to catastrophe, Brian Traquair, a retired civil servant with a remote home on Mull, finds that his old-style pragmatism is increasingly in demand. Traquair is a man with a secretive past and an ambiguous present – as well as dubious acquaintances. His former protégé, Michael Griffen, comes up to visit Traquair and his troubled daughter, Alison, and through the door with him come foreign and domestic wars, old and new. Terrorism and intrigue, corruption and covert action have all come home.
