Happy birthday @bonks21 ! If these pictures don’t exemplify our relationship, nothing does. Here’s to this summer’s European adventure which trades Scottish mountains for Parisian staircases.

Operation Mincemeat @ The Fortune Theatre

June 27, 2025

Operation Mincemeat is absurdly funny. Starting from the premise of a very serious set of events — the allied effort to divert Nazi forces so they have a chance at landing in Sicily and turning the tides of WW2, some wildly clever satire, steeped with commentary on everything from classism to gender politics, the script is punch for punch an absolute joy.

It is well choreographed, well performed, and superbly directed. The willingness to shock the audience is high, and every moment earned (and enjoyed, both by performer and audience). I’ll not give away any spoilers, but just to say that gender swapping is used to underscore the satire expertly.

It is rare that I wholeheartedly recommend a musical. I fully recommend this one.
