'A rare theatrical treasure'
***** Daily Telegraph
‘You know that feeling when you wake up and you don’t know where you are, you don’t know what you’ve done, you’re not sure if you might have committed some awful crime….and sometimes it stays with you all morning…’
Mincemeat - a narrative that crosses time and territory to find answers to questions of identity and matters of life and death.
Cardboard Citizens takes over a Shoreditch warehouse for this production, unravelling the truths and the untruths surrounding a World War Two intelligence operation.
KIDNAP! In 2009, a group of squatters kidnap a judge and put him on trial for a sixty six year-old crime.
SUICIDE! In 1909, a young and lice-ridden Adolf Hitler washes up in a homeless shelter in Vienna; thirty four 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?
First aired in June 2001, MINCEMEAT features testimony, speculation and outright lies: don’t miss the shocking truth behind an event that changed history. Conspiracy theory meets chaos theory, tongue never a million miles from cheek. This is Cardboard Citizens.
