In the 1960s Nureyev, the famous Russian ballet dancer, defected to the West. It was a dramatic story of intrigue and high-level connivance. Just after the event Ray wrote CHASE ME COMRADE – the story of a defecting Russian ballet dancer involved in intrigue and connivance at the highest level. During its three year London run Nureyev himself saw the play several times and laughed as much as the rest of the audience.
