Operation Mincemeat

Operation Mincemeat is a musical that recounts one of the most daring deception operations of the Second World War. The plot follows British intelligence in 1943 as they planned to disguise the Allied invasion of Sicily by using the body of a homeless man, Glyndwr Michael, dressed as a Royal Marines officer.

The show, which premiered at the New Diorama Theatre before moving to the West End, narrates how this espionage mission was orchestrated to mislead enemy forces through the creation of a fictitious identity, that of Captain William Martin.

The performance lasts 35 minutes.
