Directed by Tom Reing and starring Isa St. Clair, Felicia Leicht, J. Paul Nicholas and John Morrison, Ciphers is a smart and provocative spy thriller that draws a straight line from today's terrorist headlines to our age-old struggle to know who we really are. Justine, a new member of the British Security Services, is trapped in a shadow world of surveillance and subterfuge. Identity, personality and values are all on shaky ground with each step away from truth. When she finds herself in one too many double crossing games, it is up to us to decipher her fate. In England, CIPHERS was a co-production between Out Of Joint, Bush Theatre and Exeter Northcott Theatre. It toured the UK in 2013 and played to sold out houses at Bush Theatre in 2014. Ciphers is the first of three productions for the 2014-2015 season which also includes David Leddy's Long Live the Little Knife running February 4-22, 2015 and Enda Walsh's Penelope running April 8-26, 2015.Videos
