Directed by Tony and Olivier Award-winning visionary Jamie Lloyd (Sunset Blvd.), this exhilarating, hilarious and deeply human new production of Samuel Beckett’s self-proclaimed “tragicomedy” asks all of life’s big questions—and answers none of them.

How did a dead body, a fake love letter and Ian Fleming come together to wrong-foot Hitler? The year is 1943, and right now England is losing the war. Luckily, they're about to gamble all our futures on a stolen corpse. Singin’ in the Rain meets Strangers on a Train, Operation Mincemeat is the fast-paced, hilarious and unbelievable true story of the twisted secret mission that helped win World War II.
