Winner of two Olivier Awards, including Best New Musical! This daring production recounting one of WWII's most unbelievable tales is on tour across the UK! Imagine Noel Coward meets Noel Fielding, with a dash of Hamilton and One Man, Two Guv'nors. Operation Mincemeat spins a yarn of deception so extraordinary, it's hard to believe it played a crucial role in winning the war. The burning question: how did a well-dressed corpse outsmart Hitler?

In the summer of 1995, British pop culture hit fever pitch as two musical giants, Blur and Oasis, collided in what became the most notorious chart face-off of the decade. Directed by Matthew Dunster and co-produced by Melting Pot and Birmingham Rep, The Battle is a new comedy by author John Niven based on that explosive chart battle. Following its premiere in Birmingham, the play hits the road on tour across the UK in 2026.
