DESCRIPTION:Consider the real-life Operation Mincemeat – a World War II 
 British intelligence deception operation in which the corpse of a tramp wa
 s used to disguise the 1943 Allied invasion of Sicily – and you would n
 ever expect a riotous musical comedy\, especially one that wins Best New M
 usical at the 2024 Olivier Awards. After huge success in London\, though\
 , it’s on a UK tour (a measure of its success is that it’s simultaneou
 sly playing on Broadway {and} touring North America\, Australia and China)
 \, with a Cardiff run this month promptly followed by a Swansea one. The p
 lot of the musical is based on a true story you just couldn’t make up. A
  deceased man’s body became a red herring\, given the false identity of 
 Major William Martin with his pockets holding documents which seemed to co
 rroborate this. A photo of his (imagined) fiancée sat next to equally fic
 tional love letters\, in fact written by MI5 secretary Hester Leggatt. Th
 e false information found its way into enemy hands\, as intended\, and in 
 doing so altered the course of the war. The corpse’s real identity – G
 lyndwr Michael\, a homeless man from Aberbargoed – was kept secret until
  1996. Such a story doesn’t seem an obvious one for a musical comedy tro
 upe known as SplitLip to adapt for their debut production – let alone wi
 th a scene in which the German army perform a boyband style musical number
 . It just doesn’t sound like it should work\, yet written and produced w
 ith historical reverence Operation Mincemeat has obviously become a succes
 s. Tickets: £33-£67. words CHRIS WILLIAMS

 ”\, not sure if locally sourced.
