Podcast: Discussing The Secrets of Operation Mincemeat

Jak Malone on being part of Operation Mincement

This week we handed the mic over to our wonderful Lily Middleton who chats with Jak Malone. Jak is currently starring in the West End smash hit Operation Mincemeat, a show that begun life in fringe theatre (our first review for the show was way back in 2019), so we’re very proud to see how it has grown and grown in that time to now be the 5- star hungry West End success it is. And it’s just announced another extension that will take the show into 2024!

Jak talks about how he first became involved with the show, why he wants to one day do a play where he can sit down for a rest, and how the show’s fans have helped unearth more about the woman at the heart of the show. He even shares a strange story that he has never told anyone before!

Operation Mincemeat is playing at Fortune Theatre, and is now booking through to 2024. Further information and bookings can be found here.

About Lily Middleton

Lily currently works at an art gallery, you might know it, it's in Trafalgar Square. When not gazing at masterpieces, she can be found in a theatre or obsessively crafting. Her love of theatre began with musicals as a child, Starlight Express at the Apollo Victoria being her earliest memory of being completely entranced. She studied music at university and during this time worked on a few shows in the pit with her violin, notably Love Story (which made her cry more and more with each performance) and Calamity Jane (where the gunshot effects never failed to make her jump). But it was when working at Battersea Arts Centre at the start of her career that her eyes were opened to the breadth of theatre and the impact it can have. This solidified a life-long love of theatre, whether in the back of a pub, a disused warehouse or in the heart of the West End.
