Why is Operation Mincemeat so popular in Norwich?

Is Operation Mincemeat suitable for children?

The show includes wartime themes, loud sounds and some adult content, so while general audiences are welcome, it is typically better suited to older children, teens and adults who are comfortable with war stories and darkly comic material, and families may wish to check guidance before booking.
