“People are coming to the show and adding new levels of queer joy” – David Cumming on West End hit Operation Mincemeat
Ah, Operation Mincemeat. We adore this show: we reviewed the Southwark Playhouse run in 2021, the Riverside Studios production in 2022, and we checked out the West End opening earlier this year, awarding each performance a perfect 5/5. Shortly before the West End premiere, we took an opportunity to interview SpitLip, the creative team who put the show together and nurtured it over several years, taking it from an early incarnation as a two-song scratch production at the Lowry in Salford, through to the glitzy West End show that’s recently been extended to February 2024.
