Dave Stringer in Conversation with Richard Masters of Stoke Rep

Theatre Review: Operation Mincemeat @ The Regent

Who would have thought that a true story about one of the strangest tales of World War II could be turned into a knockabout comedy musical? And who could believe that the same piece of theatre would progress from playing in front of an audience of less than a hundred to a West End Sell out and a hit on Broadway collecting a host of awards in less than seven years? Well, Operation Mincemeat has done just that. And how […]

I am so glad that he was wrong because this is a piece of musical theatre that is well worth waiting for. Whether you are an avid follower of the Kinks or just love […]
