Former Spy Reveals Top Secrets of One of ‘Most Dangerous Jobs’
Matthew Dunn says the production will immerse audiences in an SIS command centre during a 70-date run across venues nationwide.
Matthew Dunn, a former MI6 intelligence officer, is launching a stage production that will soon begin a 70-date run at venues across Great Britain.
Recruited by a university professor whilst studying at the University of East Anglia, Matthew spent years working in dangerous locations for the SIS managing 14 alias identities simultaneously.
"In operations- it's not like you see in the movies, your aliases overlap, not just one at a time," Matthew said, describing how the vetting process required listing all past and present contacts.
The show transforms venues into an SIS command center offering audiences a "right up close and personal" experience, revealing how intelligence work is actually conducted beyond heavily fictionalized portrayals.
Now a bestselling author, the former MI6 spy reflects that espionage "always carries that threat," a reality he experienced firsthand while targeting high-ranking figures in hostile locations during his service.
