Operation Mincemeat : A New Musical is written and composed by David Cumming, Felix Hagan, Natasha Hodgson and Zoë Roberts is fast becoming the mouse that roared garnering 64 five-star reviews from reviewers worldwide.

David Cumming, Felix Hagan, Natasha Hodgson and Zoë Roberts said: "We're delighted and truly stunned that the gates to London's West End remain unlocked for our little show, and cannot wait to spend Christmas and beyond with our gorgeous audiences  - is 'mulled sangria' a thing?"

After five sold-out development runs at the New Diorama Theatre in 2019 and Southwark Playhouse in 2020, 2021 & 2022, plus an extended Riverside Studios run last summer, Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical is now playing at the Fortune Theatre, former home of long-runner The Woman In Black.

The year is 1943 and we're losing the war. Luckily, we're about to gamble all our futures on a stolen corpse.
