After its sell-out Edinburgh Fringe & King's Head Theatre run, Man Of 100 Faces returns to our theatre by popular demand, to mark the 105th anniversary of the Russian Revolution. 

This is the unbelievably true story of Sir Paul Dukes - a child runaway who, after just three weeks' training, becomes head of MI6 in Russia during the bloodiest year of the Revolution. 

Soon, this intrepid son of a Somerset vicar finds himself in a bewildering world of demagogues, femme fatales - and all manner of double and triple agents. 

He repeatedly escapes shooting, smuggles himself across enemy lines disguised as a ghost, runs one-hundred miles across a frozen minefield with crippling frostbite, and risks certain death to pass eye-popping secret intelligence back to Britain - using some very unconventional ink. 

He’s the scourge of Lenin, the only spy ever knighted, and a master of disguise. But can the Man Of 100 Faces unmask who he really is?

This is an extraordinary story told in an extraordinary way. One performer plays one hundred characters in a rollercoaster performance. Told through kaleidoscopic multi-roling and intricate physical theatre storytelling devised by Lecoq trained practitioners, this production brings Duke’s forgotten story roaring back to life.
