Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Fifty years after the war that brought them together, three Special Operations Executive agents meet to record interviews for a television documentary.

David Morley’s heart stopping play stars national treasures David Jason, Stephanie Cole and Anton Lesser with Saffron Coomber and Lucy Doyle and is directed by Philip Franks.
