About the show
SpitLip's chamber musical about a Second World War deception operation, now a long-running West End hit.
Operation Mincemeat is SpitLip's five-actor musical comedy about the real Second World War intelligence operation that planted false documents on a body and floated it ashore in Spain. It opened in fringe venues before moving to the Fortune Theatre. The cast plays multiple characters with quick costume swaps; the score moves between pastiche and earnestness. Approximate running time two hours and twenty minutes with an interval. Suitable for ages twelve and up.
