PAGE EIGHT
by David Hare
synopsis
Johnny Worricker dresses well, collects art and adores jazz. He invariably appears calm, cool and collected — but he’s always working. He’s been an MI5 agent since long before the close of the Cold War, and has learned to keep his observational skills perpetually operational. He’s been through numerous prime ministers and nearly as many wives. Through it all, he’s believed in the job, a career Johnny’s superior and oldest friend calls “dishonourable work you could do in an honourable way.” But a top-secret document containing unsavoury revelations about torture and compromises made by Britain’s leader — along with an untimely death — will push Johnny’s professional abilities, as well as his integrity, to their limits.
