In 1965 there doesn’t seem to be too much going on in the ranks of the South Bendigo Communist Party. Even the presence of young recruit Martin Porter has done little to inject life into the weekly grind. While Martin’s mum frets about his inexplicable abandonment of the church, short hair and the army reserve, George and Eli Tassekis welcome him into their family like a second son. But Martin is an ASIO spy and he’s about to get his new friends into serious trouble. Based on a true story from country Victoria, The Spook reveals the world of activity involving the Communist Party and ASIO in Australian society during the post war decades.

“Just a little chat... about the state of the world... There might be something you can do for your country.”

Congratulations to the Cast and Crew for a successful season!
