Our Man in Havana
2025-01-18 14:30 | Royal and Derngate Theatre, 19-21 Guildhall Road, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 1DP
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.

NN and University of Northampton (UON) are delighted to present ‘Illusion, Interaction, Introspection’, an exhibition by the collective Atelier17, final year BA Photography students of UON. This exhibition is a result of their final creative works produced over the course of their final year.

The exhibition comprises seventeen different conceptual approaches and artistic mediums surrounding different forms of photographic practice, presented through, among other formats, installations, sculptures, digital screens, and printed works. The title ‘Illusion, Interaction, Introspection’ refers to the multiplicity of the practices in the exhibition, which explore hyperreality, nostalgia, illusions, mental health, movement, sensory stimulation, and fantasy.

‘Illusion, Interaction, Introspection’ has been curated by the students in collaboration with NN as part of their ‘Practice Exhibition’ module, with Paula Zambrano leading as Curator. Throughout the module various members of the NN staff worked with students to develop an exhibition project and invited guest speakers from the professional artworld to mentor the students and share practice and expertise on the curatorial and developing professional creative practice. Guest Speakers for 2023 included Angelica Sule (Site Gallery Sheffield) & Joseph Constable (De La Warr Pavilion). The exhibition invites the public to come and experience the creative outcome of three years studying as these graduates transition to the next stage of their careers.

NN and Atelier17 invite everyone to come and experience the culmination of three years work as these graduates transition to the next stage of their careers. The exhibition will be held from 22nd-30th May, 10am-4pm, at the temporary NN Contemporary Art Project Space in Vulcan Works, Unit 9, which is accessed via Fetter Street.

On Thursday 25th May the exhibition will open its doors later from 6pm-8pm for a special Opening Reception, where all members of Atelier17 will be present to talk about their work in more detail.
