After the passing of the dictator, change is in the air. A troupe of actors is performing in the Soviet Union. The actress Carol Browne is in her cabin, when a visitor comes in An Englishman Abroad by Alan Benett Lovely, entertaining, funny and at times flamboyant Before this day, Alan Bennett had been unfamiliar to me, to say the least. The actress Carol Browne is in her cabin, when a visitor comes in and She learns that this is Guy Burgess, the spy who defected to Communist Russia. On the way out, Burgess steals the drink, the cigarettes and the soap. Nevertheless, the actress meets with the intriguing character the following day. The exchange between the two is fantastic. The actress rejects the communist system Guy is gay. He wants Carol Browne to order a suit back in England. He cannot get good clothes in his adopted country. Guy Burgess needs to receive a phone call that allows him to leave the apartment. He is a sort of a prisoner in a dictatorship. But then it was his own fault and deserved maybe even worse.
