In 1943, a secret British operation gambled on the careful positioning of a corpse and a briefcase full of forged documents. Retold first by journalist Ben Macintyre, then as a West End musical by Splitlip Theatre – and soon to be released as a film starring Colin Firth – this tale of deception will be the subject of our lively discussion. Formulated by Jewish judge and Royal Navy intelligence officer Ewen Montagu, Operation Mincemeat changed the course of World War II. We are delighted to be joined by members of the Montagu family and Natasha Hodgson of Splitlip Theatre, for an inside look at this all-important mission.
