The Tony Award and double Olivier Award-winning musical Operation Mincemeat has received its 17th West End extension at the Fortune Theatre. The production recently celebrated its 1000th show.

Double Olivier Award and Tony Award-winning musical Operation Mincemeat is extending its run at the West End's Fortune Theatre for the 16th time.

Orange is the New Black’s Julie Lake and songwriter Annie Macleod join forces in Forget-Me-Not, a true story of motherhood, lost love and hauntings set to original music and heart-exploding harmonies. Two estranged childhood best friends reconnect in midlife – both mothers, stifled by traditional roles and longing for more creative freedom, adventure, sexual liberation and a deeper sense of self. Through storytelling and song, they rediscover the power of their bond, finding the healing and freedom they’ve been searching for all along. A moving, magical celebration of motherhood, creativity, resilience and the transformative power of female friendship.

An all-true, two-hander beauty of gig theatre Forget-Me-Not celebrates the multitudes of womanhood, the beauty in reclaiming your voice and the lifeline that is the power of female friendship.
