Garbo - La Doline

Madrid, 1940

Juan Pujol Garcia is anything but a hero. A failed chicken farmer and manager of a seedy hotel, this native of Barcelona collects professional failures with consummate skill.

Yet in 1941, armed only with his boundless imagination and the help of his wife Araceli, he would achieve the impossible: convincing both the Nazi and British intelligence services that he was their best agent. Under the code name “Garbo,” he orchestrated—first from Lisbon and then from London—the greatest deception in military history: an entirely fictitious spy network that fooled Hitler himself and ensured the success of the Normandy landings. But behind this incredible espionage adventure lies a personal tragedy that nearly derailed the Allies’ plan...

"Garbo" is a play about the art of deception, the power of imagination, and the price to be paid for changing history—but it is also a fable about doubt and the quest for recognition.
