White Cobra return to Royal & Derngate with a 90 minute roller coaster comedy, full of colourful characters, and ideal for all ages looking for a fun evening. The play is adapted by Clive Francis from Graham Greene’s iconic satirical novel, which was made into a classic British film starring Alec Guinness and Noel Coward.
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 concocting a series of intricate fictions. But Wormold soon discovers that his stories are closer to the truth than he could have ever imagined.
