Summary
This production was set in Cuba in 1953, before the Cuban revolution which brought Fidel Castro to power. Elliot, the Director, felt that the pre-Castro setting had suitable resonance for the play with its Catholicism, imperialism and male code of honour. To achieve this effect, the Swan Theatre was transformed into a Cuban nightclub, complete with suspended illuminations and neon signs.
