The mission arrives next week.

After selling out venues across the country, the Olivier and Tony Award-winning Operation Mincemeat is now coming to Eastbourne.

The best-reviewed show in West End history and ‘year’s funniest musical’ (Washington Post) is here for five days only, so act fast before rogue agents intercept your tickets!

Missed the briefing?

The year is 1943, and the Allied Forces are on the ropes. Luckily, they’ve got a trick up their sleeve. Well, not up their sleeve, per se, but rather inside the pocket of a stolen corpse.

Equal parts farce, thriller and Ian Fleming-style spy caper (with an assist from Mr. Fleming himself), Operation Mincemeat tells the wildly improbable and hilarious true story of the covert operation that turned the tide of WWII.

The question is: how did a dead body, a fake love letter, and Ian Fleming come together to wrong-foot Hitler?

Audiences react to the tour’s opening night:

Accept your mission and secure your seats before time runs out!
