Recommendations of Just A Spy

  • Christopher Plumridge: Just A Spy

    I love plays written about lesser known real characters from history, they bring their stories to life. Danielle introduces us to Sonia Butt in an atmospheric two hander, full of tension and revelation.
    Treat yourself to the film made by Tony Gilbert.

  • Susan Middaugh: Just A Spy

    I liked the line: "I fight for a new day." It shows Sonia's resolve, her commitment to her country and to her job, despite her age and the assault she sustained. Also liked the screaming kettle which underscores the tension between Sonia and Sydney. Congratulations, Danielle.

  • J.Lois Diamond: Just A Spy

    This short play is rich and complex. We learn about an important historic woman who didn't get the recognition she deserved. It gets to the heart of the risks women take and the double standards they are held to. It's dramatic and full of tension. Actors would love to take a crack with these characters.

    "Just A Spy" is a gripping 10-minute drama that examines the different expectations and responses to risk and peril for women versus men in dangerous professions. DANIELLE WIRSANSKY thoughtfully navigates a delicate topic with strong characters and nicely flowing dialogue, giving audiences two clear perspectives to consider as the characters work through their thoughts and feelings. Nicely done!

  • Paul Donnelly: Just A Spy

    A tense dispute between two spies for the French Resistance is triggered by a horrific revelation. The thread of sexism that runs through the piece only adds to the tension and raises the stakes. A truly stirring narrative.
