In this episode, I am joined by David Cumming and Zoe Roberts from Spitlip to discuss the fabulous smash-hit West End musical Operation Mincemeat. We talk about how the show has been shaped by the perspectives of its creative team (and actors) to represent women and LGBTQ+ people in a story that is dominated by male characters, and we explore how the real life characters and their legacies have inspired a new generation of musical theatre fans.
Operation Mincemeat
The year is 1943 and we’re losing the war. Luckily, we’re about to gamble all our futures on a stolen corpse.
Singin’ in the Rain meets Strangers on a Train, Noel Coward meets Noel Fielding, Operation Mincemeat is the fast-paced, hilarious and unbelievable true story of the twisted secret mission that won us World War II. The question is, how did a well-dressed corpse wrong-foot Hitler?
