Innovative theatre company Creative Cow from Devon brings an evening of hilarity and satire to Exeter in this witty adaptation of Graham Greene’s spy thriller ‘Our Man in Havana’.  Known as one of Greene’s ‘entertainments’, the play tells the tale of a luckless vacuum cleaner salesman who gets sucked in to a dirty world of espionage and double agents when the chance of helping out MI6 with a job or two proves too good an offer to resist.

Touring venues around the UK following a hugely successful Autumn tour of another Graham Greene popular classic ‘Travels with my Aunt’, this riotous play comes to the Northcott Theatre, Exeter between 4 and 8 July.

Set in 1950’s Cuba, Our Man in Havana is a compelling and subversive spy play with many references to present day life, despite being created almost 60 years ago!  It has such relevance today, more so with the political uncertainty in the world.  Audiences will revel in Greene’s sending up of the intelligence services, including M16.  At the centre of the tale is Jim Wormold and there are many rich and colourful characters who, together, create a wonderfully captivating night out.

The storyline of Our Man in Havana not only mirrors Greene’s own real life obsession with travelling, often to the most dangerous spots on the planet, but also other aspects of his life; his secret service work, his brushes with criminals, his constant itinerancy, among others.
