Stirring, intoxicating, erotic and intense -

Normal People meets Fatal Attraction and James Bond from the Bond girl's perspective

​

Based on a true love story like no other, THE SPY & I is the exhilarating account of Danielle Tomkins' love affair with an international spy that spanned over 10 years and 5 countries. 

​

Opening up a brand new genre, this captivating 'spymance' gives audiences a rarely documented glimpse of the intimate side of a trained killer from the viewpoint of a relatable Hertfordshire girl-next-door.

​

This remarkable tale begins in Sydney in January 1999 and recounts over a decade of Tomkins' life dedicated to loving a man who over time reveals himself to be a Commander in the Scandinavian Secret Service.

​

With erotic scenes in exotic locations, the unbelievable events unfold when a trained killer's focus is derailed by an obsessional love. But The Spy & I reveals the reality of disparate worlds colliding. This is more Shakespearan tragedy than Hollywood romance - and yet, in the end our heroine finds her happily ever after.

 

​For obvious reasons, names and operational details have been changed to protect identities and national securities.  The intensity and experiences between the two lead characters however are all very real.

 

There are 3 things you need to know before you read the script:

1.  Jeg elsker deg is Norwegian for I love you.

2. His instructions to Dani were simple:  "It's fine. Write our story. Let us live on.  By the time it is published I will no doubt just be a footnote in a field report buried somewhere deep in Huseby.  All I ask is that you make me out to be human."

3.  This is a true story.
