This was a sell-out production.
Jim Wormold, an under-employed vacuum cleaner salesman living in 1950s Cuba, is struggling to pay for his teenage daughter’s increasingly extravagant lifestyle. So when the British Secret Service asks him to become their ‘man in Havana’ he can’t afford to say no. There’s just one problem . . . he doesn’t know anything! To avoid suspicion, he begins to recruit non-existent sub-agents, concocting a series of intricate fictions about them. But he soon discovers that his stories are closer to the truth than he could ever have imagined . . . in a darkly comic tale, how will ‘our man’ come out on top?
