Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) Party
$30 - $60

Join Ben Macintyre, the legendary historian and author behind SAS: Rogue Heroes, Operation Mincemeat, and The Spy and the Traitor, with his most gripping Cold War story yet.
The year is 1981. Tehran is in turmoil in the wake of the Iranian Revolution. The Soviets are planning to overthrow the Ayatollah's Islamist regime, and the US is secretly considering their nuclear arsenal in reply.
KGB Major Vladimir Kuzichkin, codename “Redwood”, was the best Soviet officer in Iran, but Redwood had a problem, a sexual secret that, if revealed, would humiliate him and his colleagues, cost him his job, and send him into exile. Desperate for a solution, he reached out to the only place he believed he’d find help: MI6.
Live on stage, Ben Macintyre tells the gripping tale of Kuzichkin, as Iranian and Soviet intelligence close in on the double-agent, and how a young MI6 officer, Ian McCredie, designed and executed an improbably high-stakes extraction for Kuzichkin whose intelligence shaped our world today.
Drawing on never-before-seen material from official archives and his own interviews with officers from MI6 and MI5, the KGB and the CIA, Ben lifts the lid on history's ‘Great Game’ and investigates how espionage really works.
