Operation Mincemeat at Comedy Theatre, Melbourne

Based on a real 1943 World War II mission of the same name, Operation Mincemeat follows a team of British intelligence officers cooking up one of the most audacious deceptions in military history. Equal parts farce, thriller, and Ian Fleming-style spy caper, it tells the wildly improbable and hilarious true story of the covert operation that turned the tide of WWII. A team of eccentric spies plant a corpse loaded with fake invasion plans to fool the Nazis and protect the Allied invasion of Sicily.
