Smiley, wrestling with retirement and disillusionment, is summoned to a secret meeting with a member of the Cabinet Office. Evidence has emerged that the Circus has been infiltrated at the highest level by a Russian agent. Find the mole, George. Clean the stables. Do whatever is necessary. Reluctantly Smiley agrees, and so embarks on a dark journey into his past - a past filled with love, duplicity and betrayal.Starring the award-winning Simon Russell Beale as Smiley, and with a star cast including Anna Chancellor, Alex Jennings, Kenneth Cranham and Bill Paterson, this epic dramatisation brilliantly depicts the complicated moral dilemmas of those who practise post-war espionage, and illuminates the murky corners of le Carré’s classic spy thriller - the first in the Karla trilogy.'... a worthy audio version of the seminal spy drama, brilliantly depicting the complicated moral dilemmas of post-war espionage, and allowing Beale room to shine as the character of Smiley really comes into his own' - Herts Advertiser'beautifully paced in a dramatisation which captures the essence of the book whilst working supremely well in its own right in the radio medium' - Chichester Observer'This period dramatisation could not be bettered' - Observer

Review By Nick - This dramatization not only does this well loved story justice but in my opinion adds new layers to the characterization of the hero. I don't like spoilers so I won't add them here but whoever wrote this play beautifully adapted the way the story is told to make the most of the medium of radio. This retelling still made the story fresh for me, even after reading the books and watching the film/TV adaptions. The voice actors are perfect, the sound effects well executed and there is not a thing I would fault on the whole production. (Posted on 24 February 2013)
