CIPHERS arrives at the Bush

Blanche McIntyre’s production of Dawn King’s new play, CIPHERS, opens tonight at the Bush Theatre following its tour last year.  Produced by Out Of Joint, the show is designed by James Perkins, with lighting by Gary Bowman and sound design by Gregory Clarke.

Blanche, James and Gary have previously collaborated with Dawn King on FOXFINDER at the Finborough Theatre (which was also listed in the Independent’s top five picks of 2011 and for which Blanche won the Critics’ Circle Most Promising Newcomer Award) and this new play examines a world of spies and double agents.

A young woman is found dead. Her sister sets out to find out what happened, and stumbles into a world of secrets and subterfuge that makes her question who Justine really was. How well can you ever know someone who lies for a living?

CIPHERS plays at the Bush Theatre until Saturday 8^th February and will then play at the Salisbury Playhouse from 11^th to 15^th February.
