About I, Spie
Centred around an extraordinary letter written by composer/lutenist John Dowland to spymaster Sir Robert Cecil in 1595, this spell-binding concertplay (where music and theatre collide) by award-winning writer Clare Norburn imagines what might have happened next.
I, Spie tells the story of how Dowland managed to foil an Italian plot on the life of Queen Elizabeth I and his ensuing grisly dealings with the Secret Service. Think Spooks meets Blackadder, 16th Century-style! But ultimately, Dowland’s fate is in your hands as you’ll vote on how the show should end. Plus, ahead of the show, you’ll be invited to crack the all-important code.
The drama is directed by BAFTA-nominated Nicholas Renton (Mrs Gaskell’s Wives and Daughters, Musketeers, A Room With A View, Lewis, Silent Witness) and accompanied by music by Dowland and his contemporaries, alongside lively Elizabethan tavern, street and courtly masque music performed live by The Telling.
