Strand Notes

A play that "spins an end-of-the-cold-war tale of intrigue and betrayal, interspersed with explanations of the quixotic behavior of the electron and the puzzling properties of light." It falls to Hapgood, an extraordinary British intellgience officer, to unravel the mystery of who is passing along top-secret scientific discoveries to the Soviets, but, as she does so, the web of personal and professional betrayals - doubles and triples, and possibly quadruples - continues to multiply. 77p.
