Operation Mincemeat was a successful British deception operation of the Second World War to disguise the 1943 Allied invasion of Sicily. Two members of British intelligence obtained the body of Glyndwr Michael, a homeless man who died from eating rat poison, dressed him as an officer of the Royal Marines and placed personal items on him identifying him as the fictitious Captain (Acting Major) William Martin.
Described as “Part Mel Brooks, part SIX, part Hamilton with a side order of One Man, Two Guvnors” by the Daily Mirror, Operation Mincemeat is the Tony and Olivier Award-winning musical comedy with something for everyone. Whether you’re a history buff, a comedy connoisseur, a theatre enthusiast, or a nerd for newts, Operation Mincemeat is the show for you.
