Operation Mincemeat the Musical inspired lanyard. Roughly 25mm x 900mm (0.9in x 35in) with a breakaway attachment. This is an original design, there is nothing like it!
‘Operation Mincemeat’ is the wildly inventive, five-star musical that blends historical fact with razor-sharp comedy, brilliant songwriting, and a cast that plays multiple roles with lightning-fast quick changes. Originally developed by SpitLip, a team of award-winning UK comedy writers and performers, Operation Mincemeat has grown from a fringe hit into a critically acclaimed West End phenomenon. It’s the true story behind WWII’s strangest spy mission, blending historical storytelling with a modern, satirical twist, that is now gracing not just UK stages but has now crossed the pond and is being performed in the Golden Theatre on Broadway.
Set in 1943, the plot follows a ragtag team of British intelligence officers as they concoct a plan so bizarre it seems impossible: dress up a corpse as a Royal Marine, plant fake invasion plans in his briefcase, and let him wash ashore in enemy territory – all in an effort to mislead the Nazis. This musical somehow manages to take one of the most daring deception operations in UK military history and create an offbeat and obscure but surprisingly moving tale of espionage, identity, and wartime chaos, all told through catchy songs, a plethora of speedy costume changes and a bunch of laugh-out-loud moments. It’s a brilliant combination of sharp, witty fast-paced storytelling, and a wildly talented cast.
This vibrant yellow lanyard bursts with iconic references from Operation Mincemeat the Musical, making it the ultimate accessory for fans of all things Mincemeat. Obviously the classified M.I.5 file, wired black telephones, map of Sicily and Sardinia and clipboards inked with quotes from the song ‘Born To Lead’ are featured in the design as well as a Hester’s roses and mug with Charles Cholmondeley’s glasses. Scattered among these in the dynamic, collage-style pattern are a bunch of cheekier nods to the story including a newt, bee and a pattern representing the lined walls of the stage design. It’s not just a lanyard, but a tribute to the entire story.
