OPERATION MINCEMEAT THE MUSICAL –  IFORTUNE THEATRE, LONDON

FOR YEARS 9 – 13, TUESDAY 22 SEPTEMBER 2026

Letters available from Mrs Davy- Wednesday 9th September

Please note that theatre trips dedicated to pupils in Years 7 and 8 will be available soon

I have booked seats to see the matinee of the stage show “Operation Mincemeat” in London on Tuesday 22 September 2026 at 2:30pm. The cost of the ticket and coach fare is £55.00 inclusive.

This is a very popular show, and we anticipate that tickets will be in high demand. Therefore, If the trip is oversubscribed, names will be randomly selected on the closing date.  Pupils will be informed by letter including travel details if they have been given a place on the trip.

If your child would like to apply for a place, our preferred method of payment is by ParentPay and no other paperwork will need to be completed. Alternatively, you can pay by cheque or cash (payable to Hartismere School) please enclose this with the reply slip and the consent form in an envelope marked “Operation Mincemeat”, which pupils should hand in via the post boxes at pupil services or in the maths corridor. (A place will not be reserved until payment has been received).  If your child changes their mind and no longer wishes to go on the trip we require at least 7 days’ prior notice. If we are able to fill the place, we will refund the cost.  If we are not able to fill the place or notice is less than 7 days no refund will be given.  If your child is ill and unable to go on the trip, we are unable to provide a refund. The closing date is Monday 14 September 2026.

Yours faithfully

Mrs J Davy

Head of Drama & Theatre Studies

The year is 1943 and we're losing the war. Luckily, we're about to gamble all our futures on a stolen corpse.

Singin' in the Rain meets Strangers on a Train, Noel Coward meets Noel Fielding, Operation Mincemeat is the fast-paced, hilarious and unbelievable true story of the twisted secret mission that won us World War II. The question is, how did a well-dressed corpse wrong-foot Hitler?
