Mincemeat

Mincemeat

'Mincemeat' is a play that crosses time and territory to find answers to questions of identity and matters of life and death.

Cardboard Citizens took over a Shoreditch warehouse for this production, unravelling the truths and the untruths surrounding a World War Two intelligence operation. The play features three strands:

KIDNAP! In 2009, a group of squatters kidnap a judge and put him on trial for a 66-year-old crime.

SUICIDE! In 1909, a young and lice-ridden Adolf Hitler washes up in a homeless shelter in Vienna; 46 years later he will commit suicide.

MURDER? In 1943, the body of a military man is washed up on a Spanish beach, helping prevent the death of thousands. An accidental hero - or a man who never was?

"I was utterly gripped by this marvellous production." (Michael Billington, Guardian)

Mincemeat will tour the UK during 2010.
