Secret terror cells, political conspiracy, police bungling, state-sponsored bomb plots…
This is London, 1896.

Inspired by Joseph Conrad’s classic novel, The Secret Agent is theatre O’s heartbreaking but hilarious chronicle of passion, betrayal and terrorism.

Set at a time of social upheaval and a growing disparity between rich and poor, at the heart of this tale is a woman fighting to protect her young brother from exploitation and violence.

In their trademark highly imaginative style – (‘vivid, enlightening, inventive and compelling’ – The New York Times) – music hall and early cinema collide in theatre O’s return to the stage after 5 years away.
