Description Giles Havergal's wonderful adaption of the Graham Greene novel brings to life the delightful world of drab banker Henry Pulling and his septuagenarian smuggler Aunt Augusta. The fast-paced comedy transports the audience on a journey that begins in Europe and the opulent Orient Express and ends in Paraguay. Along the way, Henry meets an eccentric array of characters, becomes aware of a family scandal, and assumes an entirely new way of life. All this is achieved with a static, tiered set, a handful of props, and four actors who each play Henry and more than 20 other characters without costume change….
