This evening I was coaxed by a friend into going to London to see #OperationMincemeat (a #musical based on a real #WWII British deception operation). I thought I'd probably enjoy it, but was woefully underprepared for what is genuinely a work of utter brilliance. 10/10, will go again.

Ooh, enjoyed that, and the character that Colin Firth plays is Ewen Montagu, who was #Jewish. I didn’t know anything about the operation, the characters, or the Ian Fleming was somehow involved in XX. Pretty exciting stuff.

Watching #OperationMincemeat for the plot…

#OperationMincemeat real WW2 operation to deceive Germans away from Sicily using dead body with faked identity and documents. Fascinating story. Great cast. Paranoia as nobody sure who to trust or what’s going on. Harder to deceive than you’d think. So much effort to convince.

But…but how am I supposed to get my early access Operation Mincemeat tickets when I don’t get paid for another twelve days!?! #mincefluencers #FortuneTheatre #OperationMincemeat #DearBill #BitOfFizzyPop
