Garbo: The Actor Who Saved the World
3333 14th Street, NW Washington
GARBO: The Actor Who Saved the World brings to the stage one of World War II's most extraordinary little told stories: Juan Pujol, a frustrated theatre artist from Catalonia who became one of history's most brilliant double agents. Driven by his instinct for performance and storytelling, Pujol created an elaborate web of deception that helped mislead the Nazi regime, paving the way to Allied victory in the Battle of Normandy. Transforming this true story into a cinematic, metatheatrical adventure, GARBO traces Pujol's journey from his early dreams of joining Federico García Lorca's legendary theatre troupe to his role in one of the war's most daring espionage operations.
