Philby, Burgess and Maclean

Film Description

In one of the biggest coups in the history of espionage, the KGB managed to place several agents in top-ranking positions within the British Security Services. Recruited whilst at Cambridge University in the 1930s, Kim Philby, Guy Burgess and Donald Maclean succeeded in leaking a large amount of highly-classified information to the Russians before being discovered in the 1950s in a scandal which rocked the British establishment to its core.

Written by Ian Curteis (The Falklands Play) and directed by Gordon Flemyng (One Summer), this double BAFTA-nominated play features Anthony Bate, Derek Jacobi and Michael Culver as the trio of Cambridge Spies that did such damage to the SIS both before and during the Cold War.
