Moscow, 1987. As the cold war begins to thaw, an extraordinary reunion takesplace between one of the great novelists of the twentieth century, GrahamGreene, and his old MI6 boss, the notorious Soviet spy, Kim Philby. It's takenthirty years and the beginnings of a new world order. As the two men raise their vodka glasses under the watchful eye of Philby'slast wife, Rufa, Ben Brown's compelling political drama asks whether Philbybetrayed his friend as well as his country, and how much the writer of TheThird Man knew about Philby's secret life. A Splinter of Ice was filmed on stage at the Everyman Theatre, Cheltenham,for release online in April 2021, before a UK tour.
