Casting is out for the forthcoming new UK tour of Graham Greene’s Our Man in Havana.
Produced by the Theatre Royal Windsor, Our Man in Havana is touring the UK in 2026.
The cast is led by Jack Ashton (Call the Midwife, Waterloo Road, Strangers on a Train) as Wormold, with Bob Barrett (Holby City) as Voice 1, Leon Ockenden (Waterloo Road) as Voice 2, and Jodie Steele (Heathers The Musical) as Voice 3.
The four-person cast will play over 30 characters, to bring 1950s Havana to life.
Graham Greene’s classic story
This 2007 stage adaptation of Graham Greene’s classic novel is adapted by stage and screen star Clive Francis (Bridgerton), who is currently starring in I’m Sorry, Prime Minister in the West End.
Our Man in Havana opens at the Theatre Royal Windsor on 1 July 2026, and is touring to Salisbury, Oxford, Bath, Guildford, and Cheltenham, with further venues to be announced.
Our Man in Havana 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.
The production is directed by Philip Wilson, with set and costume design by Julie Godfrey, lighting design by Nick Richings, and sound design by Andy Graham.
