⭐ GRAHAM GREENE’S OUR MAN IN HAVANA – WORLD PREMIERE MUSICAL ADAPTATION ANNOUNCED FOR THE WATERMILL THEATRE ⭐
The world premiere musical adaptation of Graham Greene’s iconic novel Our Man In Havana has been announced for The Watermill Theatre.
The production was originally programmed as part of The Watermill Theatre’s Spring 2020 season but had to be postponed by the pandemic.
It’s 1958 and Havana is on the brink of revolution. All day and night, the streets are filled with dancing and the shadows are filled with criminals. In the midst of the warm tropical air, an English vacuum cleaner salesman lives a quiet life running a modest business, raising his teenage daughter Milly and collecting miniature whisky bottles.
Just as Milly’s love of shopping reaches new heights, James Wormold receives an offer from the British Secret Intelligence Service that is too good to refuse. What Wormold lacks in sleuthing experience, he makes up for with imagination. Nothing stays quiet for long in Havana and his life is soon turned upside down when the fictional events of his intelligence reports start to come true!
A roller coaster comedy full of colourful characters and uplifting Cuban inspired songs, this new musical is based on Graham Greene’s iconic novel that cleverly satirises the fine line between truth and lies.
Our Man In Havana is adapted by Ben Morales Frost and Richard Hough. Directed by Amy Draper, designed by Kat Heath, with Eliane Correa as co-orchestrator and musical director.
Our Man In Havana will play The Watermill Theatre, running from 7th April – 21st May 2022.
Tickets go on general sale from 25th November 2021.
