Operation Mincemeat is coming to Edinburgh, the 2024 Olivier Award-winning Best New Musical and London's biggest hit with 88 Five-Star reviews - the best-reviewed show in West End history.

A fast-paced, hilarious and unbelievable true story
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 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?
