Operation Mincemeat

New Theatre Oxford

A summer of pleasure. A storm on the horizon.

It’s a hot, beautiful summer in 1905, and Russia’s elite retreat to the countryside to swim, sip champagne and start affairs.

When they’re having this much fun, why care about anything else? But Varvara just can’t shake the feeling that their holiday idyll is built on borrowed time.

As the party continues, how long can they ignore the storm on the horizon?

The year is 1943 and right now 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, Operation Mincemeat is the fast-paced, hilarious and unbelievable true story of the twisted secret mission that won us World War II.

Bursting at the seams with the kind of chaos you couldn't invent, the question is: how did a dead body, a fake love letter, and - of all people - Ian Fleming come together to wrong-foot Hitler?
