Our Man in Santiago

Theatre West
3333 Cahuenga Blvd. West Hollywood

Theatre West presents the world premiere of Our Man in Santiago, a comic spy thriller inspired by the true story of a spectacularly botched U.S. attempt to overthrow Chile's democratically elected leader. In this new political farce by two-time Emmy nominee and WGA award-winner Mark Wilding (Grey's Anatomy, Scandal, Good Girls, Charmed), the CIA enlists an inexperienced, unsuspecting agent to follow up with a last-ditch, poorly conceived and wildly dangerous effort to hasten the 1973 Chilean coup d'etat.

"...The CIA enlists the most improbable of assassins to rid Chile of its democratically elected president in Mark Wilding's edge-of-your-seat hilarious Our Man In Santiago, an incisively directed, pitch-perfectly performed World Premiere from Theatre West."

"...Melding the ridiculous with the sordid facts of what happened in Chile in '73 simply works... for the most part. The stage at Theatre West is wide. Charlie Mount's staging .. maybe for safety from the dreaded Covid? turns the audience into spectators at a tennis match where the strokes are sometimes long, high lobs. The pace suffers. Opportunities for movement are lacking. Acting styles are divergent. George Tovar as Jack, the seasoned and rightfully paranoid CIA agent, swaggers in and blusters about as he pours Cuba Libres preparing to send Baker to his doom. Baker is unaware of the plot against him."
