Tom Stoppard - The Dog It Was That Died
Rupert is a spy, a counter-spy and a counter-counter-spy. No wonder he's suicidal. Stars Dinsdale Landen and Penelope Keith.
Rupert Purvis is a spy. He is also a counter-spy and even a counter-counter-spy. When, confused as to who his real masters are and why, he cracks and writes a suicide note making wild allegations about his colleagues and superiors, there has to be an investigation. The truths revealed are stranger than any fiction.
This play was specially commissioned as part of the 大象传媒's 60th anniversary celebrations.
