John le Carré – An Evening with George Smiley

Certificate
12A
Running Time
120 mins

A rare one-off event with the author of all those Cold War spy classics, during which he’ll be plugging – and reading from – the new Smiley one, A Legacy of Spies.

In conversation with Jon Snow (the C4 news bloke, not the Game of Thrones character), John le Carré will also be reflecting on his 50 year career and the continued popularity of his fictional tubby, bespectacled spook. The event is broadcast live to cinemas from the Royal Festival Hall.
