Add to basket16mo, br, ed, Ogni paese ha i suoi panni sporchi che, pur controvoglia, a volte è costretto a esibire. È quanto accadde in Inghilterra con il clamoroso scandalo dei Cambridge Five, i diplomatici che nel secondo dopoguerra trafugarono documenti top secret e li consegnarono ai sovietici. C è chi, come Guy Burgess, si diede alla macchia, seminando il panico e alimentando fantasiose leggende prima di essere stanato oltrecortina. E chi, come Anthony Blunt, ordì il sabotaggio dal cuore più sacro e in teoria inviolabile del Regno Unito. Una manna per Alan Bennett. Per nulla interessato allo spionaggio ma avido di pettegolezzi, non si lascerà sfuggire l occasione di portare in scena i due reprobi. Una spia in esilio, ispirato a un episodio realmente accaduto, racconta la paradossale missione dell attrice Coral Browne, che il vanesio Burgess, incapace di rassegnarsi allo squallore moscovita, incarica, non senza averla armata di metro a nastro, di fargli confezionare un abito dal suo sarto di fiducia a Londra. Un problema di attribuzione ruota intorno alla controversa autenticazione di un Tiziano appartenente a Sua Maestà anche se forse, più del dipinto, è Sir Anthony in persona a essere sottoposto a un severo scrutinio. «Senza dubbio, rispetto a noi, Blunt, Burgess e compagnia erano ancora capaci di nutrire illusioni. Avevano qualcosa a cui votarsi». Questo non tratterrà Bennett dall infilzare come tordi e mettere sulla graticola l «innocente all estero» e l algido curatore della collezione reale, due pericolosissimi idealisti annidati nel cuore marcio della Guerra Fredda.
