Operation Mincemeat

New musical Operation Mincemeat at the Fortune Theatre is offering £25 tickets via an online lottery every two weeks.

Operation Mincemeat is a fast, witty musical about a real Second World War ruse. A small team plan a wild idea to fool the enemy with a false identity and fake papers. The show uses a small cast who play many roles with sharp timing and quick costume shifts.

The score jumps from swing to pop to patter, and the jokes land at speed, but there is heart under the laughs. It is a smart crowd pleaser, built with craft and a big sense of fun. The story celebrates bold thinking, and the joy of a plan that just might work.
