Join a team of pathologists and historians for a special event accompanying Cardboard Citizens' professional theatre production MINCEMEAT.

In partnership with The Churchill Museum and The Cabinet War Rooms, Cardboard Citizens will stage an investigation into the controversy surrounding the story of 'the man who never was'. The panel will look into the truth about the identity of Major Martin and the use of a body in this bizarre wartime scam.

Speakers:
Nicholas Rankin - Author ‘Churchill’s Wizards, The British Genius For Deception’
Mark Seaman - Intelligence Historian
Professor Peter Furness - President, The Royal College of Pathologists.

Is the wartime use of a dead body ethical? Do the dead have human rights? The debate widens to compare the military and medical use of corpses as the company challenges the audience to consider what is justifiable for the greater good.

Mincemeat is the first in a three year cycle of plays about forgotten histories, all based on real events in which an ordinary person affects a bigger sweep of history.
