Theatre Bubble, 8th July 2019Our Man in Havana at Pleasance Courtyard review
Our Man in Havana is a spy caper which is bursting with the high production values typical of The Young Pleasance. Adapted from the Graham Greene novel by two members of the company, Ollie Norton Smith and Hamish Lloyd Barnes, in a very clever and well thought out way.
