Clouds

Clouds (1977) by English playwright and novelist Michael Frayn. Set in Cuba in the mid-1970s, Clouds concerns a pair of British journalists – Owen Shorter (Dinsdale Landen) and Myra Hill (Morag Hood) – in pursuit of soft news stories about the country. This play is a farcical comedy making great play out of the English abroad, who see only what they want to see, and make little or no attempt to engage with the local cultures.
