Just that really - is it any good and would you take a 12 & 14 yr olds?

They loved Come From Away and I wondered if it was a similar style.

Thanks!

It’s brilliant.

It’s very very funny and clever but with some really touching bits as well. The cast are incredible and there’s nothing ‘inappropriate’ in it, if they like history I would imagine they would like it.

There’s a real mix of music in it as well.

I haven’t seen Come from Away but Operation Mincemeat is incredible. I laughed and cried. Go.

It's absolutely brilliant and I think the little team of friends who created it would be stoked if they knew it was being discussed on Mumsnet! I think they'd be great ages to take. Enjoy!

Just a suggestion - I would try and watch the film beforehand. The play is super fast moving so I think it helps if you know a bit in advance what it is covering rather than running to keep up IYKWIM.

The play is just excellent - enjoy (film also good in a different way)
