OPERATION MINCEMEAT at London’s Fortune Theatre ★★★★★ – “British theatre at its finest”
If Victoria Wood and Eric Idle wrote a musical about World War Two, in the style of Hamilton – you’d be somewhere in the region of Operation Mincemeat at the Fortune Theatre. I first became aware of this show in 2019 when it was reviewed for me at the New Diorama Theatre. It went on […]
REVIEW: JUNGLE RUMBLE (Fortune Theatre) ★★★★★

Tucked away next to the huge Theatre Royal Drury Lane sits the Fortune Theatre where THE WOMAN IN BLACK holds twenty-seven years of residency.
