Operation Blank
GG Well Played Productions • Amateur Company
About the show
Operation Blank is a new comedy play by GG Well Played Productions, performed at the Fleming Theatre. Someone has dropped an atom bomb on Copenhagen, and with all-out war looming, an underqualified junior staffer in the British government must somehow stimulate a response from his idiotic superiors. Standing in his way: Microsoft Teams. This 45-minute dark office satire blends new writing and comedy to skewer bureaucratic dysfunction in the face of catastrophe. The show contains strong language and potentially distressing themes, and is recommended for ages 16 and over.
Why see this show?
A sharp, absurdist premise — international crisis meets incompetent management software — that mines real frustration for genuine laughs. At 45 minutes and £12, it's a tight, focused piece of new comedy writing that speaks to anyone who has ever wanted to close a Teams notification during an emergency.
