Straight From The History Books

This wartime musical first emerged at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and steadily built an acclaimed reputation for four years, before bringing its brilliant ensemble to the West End in 2023.

As historical accounts recall, a clever ruse was devised to deceive Hitler into relocating his troops away from Sicily, just prior to the planned European invasion. The secret service's plan involved planting counterfeit documents on a deceased body, dressed as a soldier and given a fake name, which was then set adrift on a Spanish shore. This adaptation of the real-life adventure is delightfully witty and relevant to our times, shining a light on the often excessive self-assuredness (and occasional ineptitude) of those in charge.
