A STATEMENT FROM THE CREATORS OF “OPERATION MINCEMEAT”
“Eighty years ago today, Germany surrendered and the Allies declared victory in Europe — a day we commemorate as VE Day (not to be confused with “Victory Day,” a holiday invented by the current U.S. President, who might have forgotten America was still at war with Japan). As the creators of Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical, we honor the real-life deception that helped make that victory possible — a bold operation believed to have saved over 10,000 Allied lives. Today, and every day, it is important we remember the courage, sacrifice, and strategy that brought the world closer to peace.”
