In 1956, Sir Anthony Blunt, pillar of the Establishment and respected Knight of the Realm, is working as Surveyor of the Queen's Pictures. Perfectly at home in the corridors of Buckingham Palace, he frequently encounters Her Majesty as he works on her paintings and has a special fondness for one particular Titian. However, there is one small problem: the painting, like Blunt himself, is a fake. Is the queen aware that her enigmatic servant might also be other than he seems?
This is a critically-acclaimed Alan Bennett play, originally performed at the National Theatre and adapted for BBC Radio 4.
