Our Man In Havana

Jack Ashton, known for Call The Midwife, will star as Wormold, alongside Bob Barrett, Leon Ockenden and Jodie Steele. Our Man in Havana, adapted by Clive Francis from Graham Greene’s novel, follows James Wormold, a British vacuum cleaner salesman in pre-revolutionary Havana, Cuba. Struggling financially to support his spoiled daughter, Wormold is recruited by MI6 agent Hawthorne to be a spy. Lacking any actual spy skills or intentions, Wormold fabricates an entire network of fictional agents and reports, using his imagination and local bar conversations. His absurd reports, claiming to depict secret weapons, are taken seriously by MI6, leading to real-world consequences as the Cuban government grows suspicious. Jack Ashton (Call The Midwife), Bob Barrett (Holby City), Leon Ockenden (Waterloo Road) and Jodie Steele (Heathers The Musical – New York & London) play over 30 characters to bring 1950s Havana vividly to life in this wonderfully funny and fast-moving romp!
