The year is 1943 and we’re losing the war.

The question is, how did a well dressed corpse wrong-foot Hitler?

Created by SpitLip, comprising  David Cumming, Felix Hagan, Natasha Hodgson and Zoë Roberts, the musical comedy began life at the New Diorama Theatre in 2019 before transferring to Southwark Playhouse and Riverside Studios. It opened in the West End in May 2023 at the Fortune Theatre. The production is directed by Robert Hastie.
